are your battery cables tight? is it clicking? is it cranking? Trying to fire? You need to be a little more specific...

cables are tight. i turn the key everything lights up like it should then disappears then once i turn the key to crank it over i hear a single click then everything dies in a time span of 1 second. if i try to turn it over again nothing happens as if the battery is totally dead

X2, you do not have a good connection. Go back and check them

check your starter fuse, it could be the problem sometimes

If a fuse is blown he wont get the click sound.. The click is the result of the voltage dropping once the current is drawn.. The issue is either a loose starter connection or lose cables or a loose ground

Awhile back, my car wouldnt start, it would just click a few times and that was it. I check the starter and put it back nice and tight and it fired up. I guess it was just a little loose or something.

may sound funny but check your ground wire behind the head.... Ive seen times where the breakoff .... sounds funny but never hurts to check
