Coming out of grocery last night and went to start my car and it won't start. The light all came on and the radio but when I got to turn key all the way it barely makes a clicking sound. What's wrong? Help please

If you bearely hear a clicking sound then most likely your battery didn't have enough juice to turn the starter. You could of had enough to power your lights and radio, but it takes a lot more power to turn the starter.

Get it jump started and do a battery test and current draw.

Whitney! I just posted the exact same problem with my car. Same year as yours too! Damn. Have you taken it in yet? What did you find out?

First thing to check is the battery. If you can jump start the car, then it's most likely a dead battery. If it still won't start when jumping it, make sure you check all of the engine grounding straps.

Don't forget the obvious.... make sure the battery terminals are clean, both on the battery and the cable ends. Don't just look at them .. clean them with a wire brush or emery paper.

Usually the culpret is corrosion on the negative.
