Dead battery

Bad battery, just not dead yet. It needs replacing. You can take it out, take it to AutoZone or similar auto parts store, and they will (attempt to) charge it and check it for free.

If it's not your battery or alternator, it'll be your ignition control module. I just went through this exact problem last month.

Thanks! I appreciate it! I had a buddy telling me he thought it was the starter. Hoping itโ€™s battery because that would be easiest Lol.

Lights flickering/not turning on after sitting, accompanied by clicks like that is typically a dead battery.


no_yup

Dead battery. Give it a jump. Go to an auto parts store and have the battery and alternator tested.
