My car won't start. Lately, it has been starting pretty weak as the days have gone by. Then finally it didn't start at all. It makes a fast clicking noise behind the speedometer console, like a relay is clicking back and forth really fast.

So, am I to guess that my battery died? I tried to jumpstart the battery, but it still did the same thing and didn't seem to want to charge. The console lights come on, but I can see them dim very quickly as I try to start the car.

change the battery< most likely its that.

 

Okay I used my sister's car to charge my car at first and it didn't work. I just used mom's van and it worked!!!

My sister's car didn't work cause her terminals are badly corroded. Stupid me, HAHAAHH

good find.... i'd thought you probably find that...... since you jumped the battery.
but i would keep in mind...... the battery maybe bad. what was the reason for the dead battery? does alternator charge...?

 

It was because I haven't really driven it much at all in the past 3-4 months. Only to goto work, and I live close to work.

if its making that fast clicking noise its prolly a cell in ur battery...not the whole thing but juist one cell....if u charge it it should rn it the next time u turn off ur car...for a long term fix just buy a new battery

 

that would do it....... but i'd drive more..... you cant do that to your suby. it has feeling to you know.

 

feelings of neglect from the suby. wants you to spend more time with it.

so is everything working out now?

once in a while i have trouble starting my car, i think it's just me and maybe ghost following me around. can't figure out what it is.

 

i have the same issue...... i think it may be the BOV but it happened like twice with the HKS BOV installed......or maybe that crank sensor?? well who knows. i going to install my stock recirc valve. gas prices are too crazy!

 

Yes, the car is running great, and starts up very well. I've been driving it more and more lately, and just to take it for nice drives.

Thanks everyone!
