hey guys
so last night like always i parke my car in the cgarage but i forgot the key in the ignition, and today when i went to start it there was a loud ticking noise coming from the dashbord in the glove department
and i noticed that the headlight were on but kinda blinking and very weak

i couldnt switch on the car, and that ticking sound cant stop and when i turn the key to turn on the car, only the air bag indicator flashs nothing else


whats wrong with the car? is because i forgot the key in it or is something not related??????

yah the batt is dead dude. that ticking sound could be something in the heater/ac box trying to open but the battery is too weak to do it... thats just a guess though. just jump the battery and it will be fine.

+1^^^^

If your battery is depleted, like it's the case here, it's not gonna juice up on its own.
You DO need to charge it and depending how old it is, it might be fried.
You'll find out when it takes the charge or not...
