Default Car not turning over.

What's going on fellas? I just came home on R&R earlier this week from Afghanistan and went to take out my car from storage. It fired right up. I drove it around all day and started it multiple times. The next day I went to fire it up and it would not turn over. It would just click. So I checked the battery and it was at about almost 13 volts. So I jumped it from my wife's car just to make sure and still nothing. I'm not sure what it could be. The only thing that I could think of is maybe the starter getting stuck. Any thing is helpful. Thanks a lot.

If your car just clicks one time when you turn the key, I would lean toward thinking it's a bad solenoid at the starter. If that's the case, you could try the old school trick of smacking the solenoid with a screwdriver handle a couple times, but even if that works it won't be a permanent fix. Low or bad batteries usually cause it to make a rapid clicking sound when you're trying to start it.

Yea... Im going to try to smack the starter up a couple of times. Hopefully that does it for now.
