Well my mustang will not start. When it first did it I took the battery to autozone, it was good but low. I was doing alot of starting and turning the car off, just to move the car out of the way. So I charge the battery, and the car starts and I go to work, 8 hours later I get off and nothing all I get is a click. Someone tried to give me a jump, but still just a click. So they gave me a push start, so I drive around for 45 minutes to charge up the battery some, and then I picked up the kids(left the car running)and took the kids to park. 30 minutes later it starts up strong and I go home. Well the car sat for 3 days and I go to drive it and all I get is that damn click sound again. I dont know what to do now or what it may be. Any help??? Im really starting to hate this car.

99% positive it's your battery. I had a similar experience in my old 93 Ranger, the battery just went completely dead, couldn't take a charge anymore. Replace it, and I would bet money you have no more problem. Not being able to jump start it is another indication, the battery has to have at least a tiny bit of charge to be able to jump start the engine.

After looking into it the cables are corroded pretty good and looks like go's down under the jacket too. How hard is it to change out both cables, it looks like a PITA

sounds like the battery to me man.. thats how mine was, except not as bad as you had explained lol

dont judge your decision based on me, but i think you should get a battery...when is the last time it got a new battery?

I cleaned the cables and it started right up, now I hope it starts right up next time.
