94 2dr Camry Starting problems

[Cartel]

I just bought it, and i went to get it today, but it wont start, it turns over but all you can hear in clicking, It ran fine 2 days ago whne i took it for a test drive, but now, nothing. He took the subs out of the trunk, but left all the wires hooked up to the battery. Any ideas?

Bad battery? That's how they go out - suddenly. The bozo who took the subs out probably let it short out (although a dead short wouldn't just kill the battery - it'd set the car on fire). Maybe it just needs a jump. Maybe it needs a new battery.

("it turns over but all you can hear in clicking" - that doesn't make sense - either it turns over or it just clicks - it can't be both T the same time).

[Cartel]

Sorry, my mistake. It just clicks. And i think i found out the problem, the bone head left the trunk open all night, just ehough for the lights to stay on, so he's gonna charge the battery for me. I hope that's what it is.

Or he took his 'good' battery out before he gave you the car and put in his 'other' battery.
