car won't start
its not a maxima, but a subaru... but its an emergency.
The engine is not cranking because the starter sounds like its stuck. It will make one turn and then a terrible clicking noise. I've tried jump starting the car because the lights are dim and the windows roll up/down slowly, but it still has that loud clicking noise. any suggestions? |
Larry take a pole or your car club or something firm. Try tapping/hitting the starter about 6x this should jolt it and if it is the starter it should now start. I did this many of times with bad starters.

Smack the starter with a wrench. Maybe it siezed.
|
hmm... I tried that and now the car doesn't respond at all.
could be that the battery is completely dead since there are no electrical functions now. Also, you can hear a weird long murmur/winding/clicking noise from the interior of the car when you attempt to start it. But no noise from the engine whatsoever |
It's your battery dude.
|
I agree, batt is gone. A fast clicking sound is a symtom of a weak batt and now its dead so u not being able to boost it explains why.
|
try a push start...? i dunno im probly talking out my butt.
