car won't start

[Dark]

I did a search but came up with nothing.

I took a trip today and when I wanted to drive back home my car wouldn't start.

Every time I try to start the car I hear one click (sounds electrical) the lights dim and my stereo shuts off.

I can't really explain it better than this the car was fine no problems or tell tale signs and then this happens out of the blue.

This problem has me stumped I’d like to fix it so I can drive the car to a mechanic I know and have him do a thorough inspection to make sure nothing like this happens. The weird thing is the starter won't turn I just here a click and that's it.

the first thing I would try is jumping the battery with another car, it may be just that your battery is weak or dead. Then if that results in the same click, you can assume that you need to replace your starter or relay/solenoid.

Tried to jump start the car no good i'll probably have to tow it to the garage but thank you for your reply. I'll let the mechanic figure it out. Taking two summer courses is hard enough without trying to trouble shoot electrical problems
