hey guys, so winter is here but this is my first winter in winnipeg where i have to store the car for the winter. i started it 2 1/2 weeks ago, today i went and bought a battery minder to hook up to it and put some fuel stabilizer in it. then i tried to start it and it just makes clicking noises. wtf? is the battery dead after only 2 weeks of not driving or maybe something is frozen? if u guys think its the battery or have a wqay to find out if it is please let me know.

Check if your cars in drive if it's auto.

Check if your clutch is pushed in if your manual.

Sounds like the battery is dead. Not enough cold cranking amps. How old is the battery?

Yep, battery! Or there may be corrosion on the cables or battery posts or they may not be tight...but it's probably dead.

I agree the battery sounds like the likely culprit

clicking is a sure sign of battery. That b*tch cant turn the car/starter over at all.

Mine did that after only one week in a garage. Just get it jump started and it will be fine. Mine hasn't had any problems since then.

lol. i dont have a shaker, but i do have a sub installed with some power cords leading to the amp, i wonder if maybe it is sucking juice when the car is turned off? also, my battery is the factory one, so its about 3 years old, how long should a battery last?
