Rapid Clicking And Dim Lights
If you hear a rapid clicking sound and notice that the lights on your dashboard are on, but are really dim, this is generally a sign that your battery is low.
Your battery may be low because you left the radio on in your vehicle over, or you left a light on. Look around and see if any of these issues are behind your problem. If they are, turn off the radio or the light. If you don’t see any reasons for your vehicle to have a low battery, your battery may be reaching the end of its life and may just not be able to hold a charge like it used to. …show more content…
See if anyone around you will allow you to use their vehicle to jump start your car. If no one is around or if you don’t have jump cables, you may need to call someone for help.
Lights But No Sound
If, when you attempt to turn on your vehicle, your lights come on but you don’t hear anything, you may have a bigger issue than a dead battery on your hands. Although you can try to jump start your vehicle, your battery is not the most likely culprit in this situation.
The most likely problem is that your starter or ignition switch has gone bad. You are going to need someone to drive you to your local auto body shop so you can purchase a new starter for your vehicle. Or, you are going to need to call a tow truck so you can get your vehicle to your mechanic so that they can install a new starter.
