So I parked at safeway and did nothing out of the ordinary. didnt leave my lights on nothing. when i come back, i turn the key and it buzzes for the first 3 or so clicks of the key then i go to start it and everything shuts off. i try it again and the same thing happens. after a few trys, it stopps working completely and doesnt do anything. the buzzer wont turn on, no lights, no auxilary, no headlights, nothing. i tried jumping it but the battery is fine. i even pushed it to a hill and tried starting it that way but i rolled in gear so i know it is electrical. so after a risky operation towing it home in the dark and the rain 12 miles, with no wiper blades or lights, i cant figure out what to do.

details: no electrical, i checked all of the wires under the dash and none look flayed or burnt, i heard it might be a frozen starter so i tried hitting that(thats what i was told to do! sorry if im wrong), i checked the fuses and mothing looks burnt up. i was also told that it might be a bad alternator but idk about that.


i have a week to fix it and am on a jobless teenagers budget so we might have to get creative.

BTW: i was on my way to go fishing so the fishys will live to see another day!

Sounds like it could be loose/corroded battery cables or engine grounds.

i cleaned the terminals and ground but the same thing happened. i was able to get it going by push starting it though. i figure its the starter so i have that pulled off and im going to put a new one in tomorrow
