Want this question answered?
if the car does a click like it is going to turn OS but wont then yes it is the starter
Car battery is run down.
the battery is dead
Most likely your car battery is completley dead.
yes but wont run for long, you will have no lights, horn, radio ect.
Check the battery. Seems odd but give it a jump and it should start.
When you jump start, at first there is only a little charge, and that charge has to go to all electronic features in your car, like the lights, radio, dash
Should be separate circuits for the dash lights and the radio. Look for loose/corroded connections on both power and ground wires. I would also check the dash light dimmer control switch. Verify you have power and ground at the radio. When the dash lights go out, verify power at the dash light fuse. It is going to take some detective work to locate the source of the problem.
See if the battery has water. Then see if it will jump with jumper cables. If it will start with jumper cables, your battery had enough amperage to make the lights work and the radio to play but not enough to start the car.
Your battery is dead and you should probably take it to the repair shop and have them put it in for you. Couldn't it be the starter motor? The lights and radio come on, so there must be some juice and the battery.
Clean the battery post connections first thing. You may have a starter relay going bad.
Your car won't start. No electrical items will work (radio, lights, power windows/locks...)
