Default ignition?

I did not know where to post this. so here I go. .
In the morning when I start my car, I usally have to turn the ignition about 2 or 3 times before it starts. Now it does not even turn over, it make a click sound and thats about. Then on the 3 try it will turn over and start. Im thinking that its a bad battery with a dead cell maybe. Cause in the morning is when its had the most rest I.E. It has not been starting for about 8 hours. bit if that is the case then then it should not start it all. Any ideas?

if your hearing a click sound it prolly your battery, just go grab a new one and see what happens, if not then i would move on to the starter. You can bring your battery in to like autozone and they will do a test on it it to see if its bad or not.

Sounds like the battery has died - if you still have the stock AC Delco check the positive post for any leaking, and see if the eye is still green. Like Justin said Autozone will test it for free.

They'll do both a voltage and "load" test.
