I know I know, I used the search function but I couldn't find the answer.
Last night my car wouldn't start; I heard a click when I turned the key, but nothing happened. My friend jumpstarted my car and I managed to drive home. When I came home the car wouldn't start again by itself, so I replaced the battery. I still hear the clicking noise and the car still won't start. If I was able to jumpstart the car, is the problem with the battery and not the starter? This post has been edited by eyohannie: Mar 24, 2007 - 4:41 AM --------------------  |

clicking when turning the key is most likely your starter. I had the same problem when I bought my car. It died for good in a mall parking lot and I had to push it out of the parking spot and have my girlfriend dump it in 2nd or 3rd just to get it going.
