yeah your battery is dead


oh to make sure all questions are answered, if you charge your battery back up and it runs fine but won't start up after a short drive down the road, your alternator is probably bad. this means all power is coming from your battery and the alternator isn't doing is job of charging it back up. If the battery just seems to drain overnight and can't hold a charge, then it's just the battery.

or maybe you just left your lights on?!

My batteries not dead, i just replaced it last week. My lights werent on either. I thinks it the alternator,,what do you think?

[C.Palmer]

ok my sources say alternator then. Your battery is not receiving a charge so it died. just charge it back up and replace the alternator. Your starter draws off your battery to turn the engine over so if your starter is clicking it's fine- leaving only 2 other problems.... a loose connection or dead battery. i didn't say replace the battery now did i?? hehe :D

It was time for a new battery anyway.
I got it towed the other day and got it fixed, somehow my starter was bad. I got a new one in and every things all better now. Thanks for the help
