Power Problems!!!

ok, for about 4 hours the parking lights were left on....Now when the key is turned the gauges jump around (all) and as you go to on, there is a constant clicking noise...

Okay, so you would think low batt. well i did, as I was jumping the + terminal on my car when nuts (sparks like crazy)....I did this twice, dont know if anythings wrong or what....it just snowed

Year?

Sure the jumper cables weren't accidentally backwards? Sounds like it is grounding out.

its a 2000, i dont know it just got done sliding of into the median, but its a fairly flat median at that....so much for woman drivers

Clicking....sounds like the starter.

Might have a ground lose/off from the starter.

When you were jumping it, did you put make sure you had the + and - cables on the right terminal?

I don't know how your medians are there but maybe like Mr. luos said a wire came off or loosened up off the starter when the car went sliding

well, aparently you cannot jump a car with side and top mounts. If the sides are used the tops CANNOT be used....learned that by experience, Car runs GREAT now

Thats weird. I got the side/top mounts on my battery. Everything is hooked up to the side mounts and I was able to jump my car off the top. What it is is maybe there was a tight fitting cover on one of your mounts.
