car wont start, any suggestions?
Sunday, April 30, 2006 7:17 PM
my car was sitting for about 2 weeks since it was last started (i was at college) usually this isint a problem and it has sat for more than a month before, it would chug on starting.. but would always fire right up and be fine right after that.. now it has been sitting for two weeks and i came home to start it and no chug, just click click sounds and the lights kinda blink and the cluster makes a strange noise, i dont think the engine is even turning over...
my only idea is that the battery is just weak and im gonna try to jump it, but after that im lost..

anyone else have any ideas?

thanks

Since I work at a dealership we see this all the time. I would say that it is a dead battery, but then again might want to check the battery fuse 1 and 2. Might also want to check out the alt. fuse just to be sure. Bring a friend that doesn't care about his terminals.
