Car won't start

[Newdamagenyc]

All the lights go on, but no ignition. All I get is a clicking noise when I turn the key.

Any ideas what it might be?

just a clicking noise??? starter.. if it cranks buy wont turnover check ur battery/alt/ and the battery terminals...

That clicking noise could also be your battery being low. Try another battery or a jumper cables. If they dont work, most likely will be the starter.

My car does that every now and then, for me its just loose battery terminals. Make sure they are clean and have good contact.

definately a battery issue.

Thanks gentlemen.

I probably won't get the chance to look at it until Wednesday, but I'll post up after I get a chance to take a look see.

All righty.

So I checked the battery connections this morning. The negative terminal was a little loose and I noticed a little bit of greenish oxidation near the base of the terminal. I cleaned off the terminal and reconnected it. There was a bit of a spark when I reconnected the terminal and the harness. The harness is getting corroded so I tightened it down as much as possible.

Tried to start the car. Lights flashed for less than a second and then nothing. No clicking noise, nada. Everythings dead . . . door locks, lights etc.

Got a jump from AAA and the car started up. I think I need to replace the metal harness, cause it's looking a bit corroded and doesn't fit very tightly even after I tightend down the nut.

Anyway, just want to say thanks to everyone for putting me on the right track. I appreciate the help! :)
