Default I put the key in and turn and I get this.

<center><img src="http://images.cardomain.com/products/opt/OPTD750U.jpg"></center><p>
CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK!

is it the battery or what? the sound it the starter clicking over but the motor will not kick. Windows move really slow and the radio will not come on now. (fuse behind the radio could be blow). but I don't think that will stop the car from starting. I have blown that fuse once before and the car ran fine.

Any help is good help.

Thanks,
Jim

Default Battery doesn't have enough juice.

Check the water levels. If they are low, top it off with distilled (don't go over the fill line). Get the car jump started, and drive on the highway for 1/2 hour to recharge the battery (hopefully that will be enough?).

Check for a light or something left on, that might have drained the batt. If you find it, jump the car, and drive around as above.

If you don't find either of the issues above, it may be time for a new battery. 4 years is a reasonable life for an OEM.

Default Nah...I'm holding out for VIR I think.

I don't do many events, so when I go, I'd prefer the larger courses.
