Default car would not turnover

I left my job at 10 last night and got into my car.I turned the key and all i could hear was a clicking noise.My cd player came on and that was about it.I got under the hood and checked everything but it looked like everything was in working order.So im thinking that the battery is going out.The battery light did not come on so maybe its something else.Eventually the car started and i got home.

Sounds like you left your lights on or something. Same thing happened to me yesterday. I left my lights on...went out like 2 hours later, and all I heard was clicking. Turned off my lights, and my radio worked. Then I left for 30 mins, came back, and it started up.

hmm...try turning your headlights on, and then start the car. ( someone told me to do that one time )

or maybe your starter is dying...check connections

I had that same problem happen to me ... My battery was the faulty part. I don't know if it will be the same but it is worth a try. If not then you have a nice strong new battery

ok again here i go with the hammer. sometimes the brushes get stuck in the starter. you can sometimes knock them loose with a hammer or tire iron.
