Default Car problems... need help pretty quick.

Here is the symptom: I would turn the key 2 over, lights would come on, then when i would turn the key fully over there would be a clickign sound and ****** kill the battery (the same feeling like when you leave your lights on, then you come back to turn on your car and you get NOTHING!). Then, I'd get no power from the battery at all. Cant even turn on the lights anymore afterwards... weird huh?! Is this a loose ground? Starter? What?

This is really pissing me off cuzz my pile o **** has been causing me problems for like a whole month now, and its getting really annoying not having a car.

1. check if your wires are grounded properly
2. make sure your battery terminals are nice and tight
3. try to find out if your alternator is going bad
4. see if your dome light is staying onwhen you leave the car

Mine constanly has btteryproblems and I basically run it for 15 minutes every morning before i go drive to my work, 5 minutes away.
