TH1RT3EN628 Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 i was just leaving to go to the store and it wouldn't start. it just clicked, the radio wouldn't turn on, but the trip computer works and my radar detector comes on (kind of). does it just mean that the battery is low?

snulma1 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 If it is clicking and the radio and your radar are coming on, its probably the starter. When you try to start, does everything fade, or dim out? If so then it could be your battery, if it not, then I would say its your starter.
