Re: Starting Problems, Please Help

very well could be alternator like philly said.

easy way to check.. jump start it. make sure after you connect the other car's battery, let it sit and charge for about 5 minutes. it should start up.

if your interior lights dim when you try to start it (especially after tryin several times) probably dead battery due to bad alternator. replace alternator.... battery will charge back up eventually.

if you still get only a click, you might have a bad starter, but this is not likely cause a bad starter will not cause the car to die. recheck jumper wire connections... put jumper wires on the battery wires directly... try again.
