car won't start

Ok, my car has had a dead battery before. When I try to start it all the lights just blink and my car makes this click noise. Is it just the battery that I need? I havent had a chance to test it yet but even when the battery was dead before, the lights didnt blink on and off and just flicker. Even when I turn the key to accessory, everything turns on.

If you can honk the horn with the High beam lights on, there should be enough battery to start the car.
If not, have the battery charged + load tested.

Its the wires connected to your starter.They get rusted and won't conduct electricity!
