got my car back 2 days ago, dealer replaced cd player.
that night I noticed my dom light went out
the next day my front side markers (both side) went out
today, my car wouldn't start. whenever i turn the key, you only hear one clicking sound. Gotta keep on trying and finally the engine would start.
do you guys have any idea why this is happening?
any help would be appreciated

but of course they will.. they will tell you that your system drained your battery and now thats why its dead..Originally posted by BioMaxDDS

however you have to determine thats the problem.. first thing i would do is take the battery to a place that does re-charging.. some of them will do it for free.. then see if your battery light comes on.. if the battery light comes on.. then its your altenator..
if the battery checks out.. and the altenator checks out.. then we explore.. electrical shorts..
what you can do right now is.. get a nice 18 awg wire.. when ever the car does this again.. take the wire and touch the + and - end of the battery.. if you get a nice spark.. that tells you that the battery is good and you have an electrical short..
just a few ideas for you to kick around
if your starter was bad.. you would also see somethign like this.. but the fact that you said your lights were out.. then that kills that theory


the lights not coming on wouldn't be affected by lack of gas
