I did not leave any lights on overnight and drove the car yesterday with no problems.

I tried to start it today and I get a rapid "tic-tic-tic-tic" sound until I stop turning the ignition.

I am thinking it might be from a weak battery but I was able to put my headlights on no problem. I am charging it now. *fingers crossed*

Any other ideas?

 

how old is your battery? That's what mine did when it went bad one day was fine next morning went out and tick tick tick.....no warning just went out!

 

****.

Where would be the best place to order one online?

I would prefer the 2006+ upgraded starter.

 

But first make sure that your battery is good. Are you able to jump start it?

 

Had the same thing happen last week. Bought a new battery now its fine.

 

Your battery does not have enough juice in it to turn the starter to start your car.

 

Have the battery load tested before you condem the starter. Also, if you do get it running, check the charging system.

 

mine did that a week ago changed the batter it works just fine now

 

Cool.. thanks guys.

At least a new battery is a quick fix.

 

Had the same issue a few years ago. Problem was the battery. Bring it to CT they do a cold crank test for free.

 

I got the car started after charging the battery for a few hours.

I hooked up my Cobb AP and was monitoring the battery voltage @ idle and it was reading 13.9v. Then after a 20min drive I turned off the car and it was @ 11.8v.

Do those numbers seem normal?

 

The reason the voltage was normal while the engine was idling is because the alternator was topping off the battery. If it is at 11.8 when the car has been turned off, the battery has at least one weak cell and should be replaced.

 

Excellent info. Thanks bro!
