Sounds like the battery has gotten weak. If the battery has been replaced recently maybe the alternator isn't charging it up. Some auto parts houses will load test the battery for you and tell you if it is weak. They can also check to see if it is charging the battery while it is running.

∙ 15y agoThis is a classic case of low battery power, check your fan-belt is not loose. If the battery is old, it will need to be replaced. With a relatively new battery, check the electrolyte levels, top up and recharge as required. Also, at this time of year, a cold battery can cause these type of problems, as its Electrolytic processes are temperature critical.

The battery initially failed and after charging and working ignition made clicking noise and car will not start?
with today cars there are several relays which are used to send electricity to certain parts of your electrical system, such as a fuel pump relay, or a starter relay. one thing i tell people to do is have some one try to start your car with the lights on if the lights go off while trying to start the battery is dead . if the lights stay lit with very little dimness then you have a starter problem. Could be loose or dirty battery terminals, bad cable, starter solenoid. load test battery just because it has 12 volts does not mean there is enough amps to turn over check corroded terminals especially side terminals pull them off and pull bolt out and check both sides for corrosion
When trying to start your car and the electricity and everything still works and it doesn't even make a noise as if it were trying to start what is wrong?
Start with the basics. Is the battery fully charged? Are the battery post clean and tight. If you answer yes to both of these and the engine will not turn over and you hear nothing, suspect the starter, starter solenoid, or ignition switch is defective.
Why does my 2001 impala flash security and car not start?
This is usually caused by a faulty passlock sensor requiring replacement of the ignition lock cylinder. To test: Crank the engine momentarily (like you're trying to start it) then allow the key to return to the on/run position. Your check engine light should be on, and the radio should work, but turn the radio off if it's on, because you need to keep the battery charged. Wait fifteen to seventeen minutes, then shut the key off and remove it. Then wait fifteen seconds (or longer) and start the engine. If it starts, you need a new lock cylinder. With the engine still running, press the key straight in. If the car stalls, you need an ignition switch also.
