Car Won't Start/Turn Over
Hi all,
I have an 03' Acura CL. Today, when I went to start it, I just hear clicks. If I leave the key in, the various lights on the dish will blink and I hear clicks coming from various parts of the car like the windows and locks. I tried opening and closing the window, but it moved very slowly and only moved in a tiny bit in conjunction with the clicking sounds.
I am not very savvy on car stuff, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

The clicks come from the starting relays opening and closing because they aren't getting enough power to open the circuit. When you hear a relay clicking repeatedly, always check out where the power is coming from.
