To All,
I have a major problem. Starting this morning I have been unable to start my car. I cam move the ignition to the on position where the interior light comes on and the fuel pump moves. When I try to start the car all it does is rapidly click. I have no clue what's going on. I don't know if it's a problem with the battery or what.
If anyone can help then please give your suggestions!!

That sounds like the same problem we had with Irwin's Car on the side of the freeway......all of the lights worked FINE, but it wouldn't start.....turns out the Battery was only at 11 volts instead of 12, and without that extra volt, it WOULD NOT start......
Basically just try jumping it
yea man its the battery i had the same probe you just need to get a new batt if you jump it its fine for the rest of the day and then the nesxt moring it dose the same thing well than yea its the batt.
its the battery..... especially if you are in Wrightwood now, and it is REALLLLLY cold there... batteries have less power the colder they get...... so go buy a brand new battery that has a high rating for Cold Cranking Amps... look for one over 700 and if you can find one as close to 1000 cold cranking amps that will fit in our cars, buy that one....

Yeah the only problem is finding one that fits in our cars. Apparently we have a Group 40R type of battery. Pepe Boys has a Group 47R that is supposedly compatible, but it only ranks at 590 CCA. I would like to find something in the 900s due to the stereo system and the headlights and such.
I am going to be doing some research today to see if I can track down a good battery. I wouldn't mind paying more for a Gel battery even. The problem is finding a compatible size.
Optima batteries will work perfect, one model has over 1000 CCA

Well, I went out and baught a Duralast Group 47R 590 CCA battery. I replaced the battery in about 30 degree temps last night. My car is running beautifully so far. I also haven't had any more problems with my secondaries like I was before. Thanks for the help everyone! Getting the new battery did the trick.
