Stay safe first
If you're on a roadway, turn on hazard lights and move away from traffic. Your safety matters more than the car.
Rapid clicking
Rapid clicking almost always means a weak or dead battery. A jump start or battery replacement usually solves it.
Single click, no crank
A single click with good battery power often points to a failed starter or a bad connection to it.
Cranks but won't start
If the engine turns over but won't fire, the cause is usually fuel, spark, or a sensor. Check the fuel gauge first — it happens to everyone.
Nothing at all
No lights and no sounds suggests a completely dead battery or a loose/corroded terminal.
