car wont start again.

[Malik]

hey you guys, i was driving home from my friends house which is about 5-10 kms away from my house, and i noticed that the cluster lights were really dim and not bright orange as usual. then another few mins later, my car stereo cut out while playing and just stopped functioning, then, my srs light came on and the cluster lights went even more dimmer like the car wanted to quit and just die on me. i made it home and turned the car off and tried to start it again and it would just make clicking noises but no crank... what does this all mean?!?!?

it sounds like the alternator isint charging the battery.
check both the battery and the alternator and make sure the belt is properly tightened.

the alternator is not charging the battery.

check both the battery and the alternator and try to roll start it while on second gear

thanks guys, i will try to roll start it today, i suspected the alternator also because i recently had it rebuilt and i noticed on the forums that alot of guys had their cars not starting a month or 2 later because of the same problem.

I agree with the guys above but hey check for the cheap fix as well loose or corroded battery terminals an what not.

turned out to be the battery you guys. good call! to all canadian dsm owners... ### do not buy a battery from canadian (crappy) tire because they always seem to fail on you 2-3 months down the line. Im on my 4th in 2 years. the latest one lasted only 3 months!!!
