Car won't Start! Clicking sounds NEED SOME HELP! Hey guys, got a problem starting the car and need some help. The ignition turns on but when I tryand crank the car I just get a rapid click click click
The first thing I thought was the battery, but my buddy came over with some jumper cables and we tried charging it like 5 times and it still won't start!
Any suggestions? Need some help on this one asap, thanks guys

No each time we tried to jump it we let it sit for a couple of minutes at the most. Does that make a difference?
What light are u talking about?

It's sounds like either your starter relay or starter. A couple things you could do- Try jumping the relay to see if you can get power to the starter. OR jump the "S" and "M" terminals on the starter to see if the starter is good. Good luck!

starter relay = replace it
you could probably jump the starter w/ a screwdriver, just connect the terminals. Be Careful though. Or use the jumper cables. Good luck

Well guys took my old battery out and up to advance auto parts and had it tested and it was indeed dead as a doornail!
Bought a new one up at NAPA and the cars runnin fine! Gotta say I'm glad it wasn't the starter b/c I really didn't have the $200+ for a new one
