So I got back from college and today I was going to take the car out and then i checked everything over to make sure everything would be alright like oil and tire pressure and what not. Well i go inside and put the key in and try to turn her over and all she does is click and then i try again and nothing, just a single click. well after a few tries it stopped from a single click to just when turning the key it would constantly click if the key was trying to start the car over so i was like wow that is interesting and it doesnt sound very good. anyone know what the problem is? i figure it's the starter but could be something else, im not entirely sure at all.

hey guys well i checked the battery and it said that it was only at 4ams on the cahrging meeter, meaning that it was darn close to death. I put the charger on there for about an hour, then tryed starting it up again. fired up pretty quickly then i left the car on for about 10 minutes or so and then went out and did stuff and everytime i got in the car, it fired right up so it must have been a weak battery. i think i might get a new one just to be safe cause it is under warrenty for another 2 years. I still think i might have slight starter troubles too but if the car fires up like is has been for the rest of day i have no worries. thanks for the input i need to do some maitenance this summer to make sure she keeps living for another year.
