Ok so i got into my car after school, put the key in the ignition, push the clutch down, turn the key and... nothing. try it again, nothing happens. so i hook the jumper cables up to my friends car(dunno if i did that right but it was positive to positive, and his negative to a ground on my car) turn the key. it sounded like it almost started cranking over, maybe for a split second, if that, it started cranking, then it stopped. i got out changed the ground, and tried again. occasionally the door ajar light would turn on, but not every time. but every time i changed the ground, it would almost start to crank, then it would stop. so is my battery just completely dead or do i have bigger problems?? oh yeah and nothing else electric would work, radio, power locks, lamps, nothing. Thanks for your help!
 
if you hear a click thats the starter working
but since there is no turning I would have to agree with it being the battery.
 
ya me and my dad went and bought and bought a new battery, installed it and it started fine. thanks for all ur help
