I haven't driven my Celica in about 5 days and it's been pretty cold, well as cold as it gets in Texas. I come to drive it today and all the lights and everything are working fine when I put the key in. When I turn it, I hear a constant clicking sound. Usually one click means the battery or starter is out. I tried 3 more times then left for an hour. When I came back I did it 3 more times. Came back about 5 minutes later and when I turn the key NOTHING happens, no clicks. As I said before, ALL the interior lights and everything is working fine.
I replaced the starter 3 years ago and had new spark plugs a couple of months ago. The battery seems to be working well too. Is this a starter issue or could it be something different? I'd hate to have to get it towed just to figure out whats up with it. Thanks! |

hmm.. Yeah the battery will give you lights to that, but it doesn't have enough juice to start the car. Just make a quick trip to an auto parts place and have them check it for you. Don't tell me you don't know how to take the battery and alternator out.

I've taken the battery out before, I'm sure the alternator isn't that hard though. |
