car wont start :(
 
ive read all the threads on de-flooding the engine and issues with not starting but i wanted to make one to just get feedback for my case

problem: i garage my car for winter so i dont use it at all i start it once or twice a week. this time i went to start it today after sitting for at least 5-6 days it sounds like it wants to turn over but it wont. you turn the key and its like click click click....and doesnt turn over. its not the battery i dont think cuz everything in the car comes on(lights, my radar, radio ect...) anyone have any ideas cuz im just frustrated as hell :banghead:

Yes it's your battery most likely. Check the connections on the terminals, wiggle them and clean if dirty. Check the water level(don't believe in no-maintenance it's probably low). Put a charger on it and then try it tomorrow or jump it now and drive it for awhile.
