Clean and check battery contacts & connections on the starter. How old is the battery?

Starter relay clicking is a sure sign of a low battery (low voltage) in every car I've owned.

Low voltage can be very dirty contacts as well as just a low battery, Very cold batteries have lower voltages as well.

Jump start her and charge the battery (and see if I'm right! )

thanks guys, you are right

just took the battery to autozone and it had zero charge

they are charging it right now and will tell me if it's good or not after that

i don't know how old the battery is coz i bought the car last october. the battery warranty expired at 6/2014. the battery connections look pretty good though

in worst scenario i'll just buy another battery

thanks again!

 

thanks man

it's the battery problem

very cold here in the last a couple of days..

 

The parasitic battery draws from the radio memory and power door locks will siphon minute amounts of power 24/7. Over a week or two they add up to lots of power used and will drop the battery too low to start the car. Cold weather doesn't help. Too many deep discharges kill automobile batteries. Trickle charger will maintain it.
