The first thing to look at for all electrical problems on a car is the battery. Take it to a car parts store and they will check it for you. If the battery is good, it could be the jumper cables are corroded. The next item to check is the starter.

Not sure if its the starter or the battery? Check the battery at a store. They can do a check on it for free. If its good then the starter could be bad. Bad starters don't work or they work intermittently. Usually just ehear a click and then when you retry it starts. That's the symptoms. Most places can also check the starter for you.

check your starter solenoid...it's probably bad....most cars you can change the solenoid or replace the whole starter ============ Probably, you need 1. Check and dress the contacts of wires, particularly ground. Use a knife and sand abrasive paper >200 grit for that. 2. Open the starter relay and dress the end face of the rod. I myself, 8/28/09
