Well I turn the key one click, and the battery chimes sound fine. Radio works fine. All that.
Turn it one more, to give power to windows and whatnot, and everything goes dim and sounds like the battery has very little power left.
If I go BACK a click, then it's fine again like stated befoer.
I tried to jump start my car, but all I get is a clicking repeated over and over again. Nothing else. Lights come up and windows work at full power again when in accessory mode, but the car won't start.
Is it a dead starter? Or is it bad cell in my battery (if it's even possible) that's causing this?
Thanks!
To test the battery, turn on your headlights for 60 seconds, then the voltage should read slightly more than 12.
As you tried to jump but did not succeed, it is probably not the battery.
It could be no gas or starter. If you have an owners manual, check if the emergency cut off switch is triggered (for the gas).
Edit. Fuel pump cut off switch in hole next to lever to unlatch the hood (near your left leg when sitted on the drivers seat). Press the button to reset.
