GET a new battery ASAP. Mine had the same problem. However I encountered this when i was driving at night. I had my headlights on, and radio on.. ALL the sudden everything goes dim, my radio shuts off and the car starts to sputter out.. I pull over and the car shut off. I tried to start it again, and the EXACT same situation with me happened to you. Clicking, dinging, alarm going, wipers going.. So, word to the wise, just get a new battery as soon as u can!
