click, click, click, click, click....dead and won't start
<center><img src="http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee27/sims159914/steveretouch2.jpg"></center><p>...OK my car was fine all morning then when I was gonna leave for work it wouldn't start. The radio went to safe and the starter just clicks like a machine gun. Think the starter went? Any ideas of what to try or how to check? I had to jump on my motorcycle and leave for work so I didn't get a chance to look at it.
p.s. I scanned the car last night and it was the lat. sensor that went....I guess things happen in two's.

Maybe your radio came back on after you opened the door >>
a gremlin that's happened to me so many times that I'm now in a habit of turning it off when I get out... and if the volume is turned down, you won't even know that it's happened.

It was clicking so fast and not slowing down so I didnt think it was the battery..but you never know. I'll check it with a volt meter tonite.

Trickle charge isn't gonna do it.......>
You need a high amperage charger to bring that back to life. You may have an internal short (in the battery or the car)...Have the battery properly charged then load tested
