Default help jump starting a TT roadster
so i have one of those portable jump starters.. and i've started a couple other cars in the past few days.. but whenever i try to get the tt started.. it never works.

it sounds like the engine is about to turn over.. then i just hear a series of clicks..

everything powers on when i connect the jumper to the car, but i just can't get the car to turn over.. any suggestions?

That was my thought as well. Or there could be other mechanical/electrical problems.
