Last night my battery light came on in my crosstour, drove to my house nearby and it seemed fine. This morning, the car started, battery light still on, when I put it in reverse it made an odd noise and wouldn't move when I tried to back up. Put it in drive and it went forward, but I couldn't get around the car in front of me so I just turned the car off. Tried to start it again and now it's just clicking. The dash lights and air still came on but won't turn over. I haven't tried jumping it yet, but from what I've read I can't tell if this sounds like an alternator issue or something else?

 

The battery light is the charging system indicator. Cause may be due to the alternator; which in turn can not charge the battery.

Get the alternator and battery tested.
