My car won't start. When I turn the key it makes a very loud clicking noise, and I can hear the fuel pump running, but it doesn't turn over or even pretend like it's going to.
My first thought is that the battery is dead, and that will be the first thing I try to fix, but could there be a starter problem? No one's available to jump it right now, so I can't really do anything to solve it at the moment. |

I am pretty sure I know what the problem is (or at least the major contributor to the problem) and as soon as my exhusband moves back to town (next week) it'll get fixed. It took a couple of months for the battery to get worn out under the current conditions; I feel confident that a brand new battery will survive one whole week of use under the same conditions.
And if it doesn't, or the fix doesn't work, then I'll take it into the shop. But that's not an option for me right this minute, and buying a voltmeter isn't going to fix what's wrong with it anyhow. |
