OK so my car won't start... First off let me tell you that I have been having problems with the battery.. I guess the terminals are week or something because sometimes when my car won't start I just wiggle the battery terminals and it works.. But the weird thing is now that everything works radio, lights, etc.. I tried to wiggle the battery but it still won't start.. IDK if its the battery or the starter... Also when I try and start it it just makes one clicking noise and stops... Any thoughts?? =(

Sounds to be like the terminals arent tight. You shouldnt be able to wiggle them at all. Or the battery is done for. Could also
be corrosion or a combination of all the above.

check the terminals on the battery, secondly, go to your starter, those terminals are probably jacked too. i had this same problem, car would occasionally not start, it would always start on wet days (because the water created continuity on the starter).

the clicking noise is consistent with what i had. one way to check, get a buddy to help you, have 1 person try to start the car, another jiggle the battery cables, both near the battery and near the starter. you'll find the weak link if you cant see it by eye, then once you've found your problem, replace the wires and terminals...
