Default A little help...

Well today when i woke up to go to work, i tried turning on my car and it wouldn't turn on. It doesn't even turn over. We tried jump starting to see if it was the battery, but it didn't help. I was already late to work so i had to take my dads truck, but i'm trying to see were i should start when i get back home and check out the car.

Yeah i hear a ticking noise like the starter or something. My dad said it might be the battery, since after several attemps to turn it on, the light went pretty dim and the horn was real low. ...and no i didn't wash the engine bay.

Probably dead battery like totally dead wont even take a charge to jump start dead......especially if its the one that came with your car when you bought it...mines starting to go and its the battery it came with.
