Default Car won't start!!

Turned my car over like normal, but my car stopped turning over mid crank. Since then I've changed the starter, the alternator is only a year old, charge is going to starter, relay clicks when you turn the key to start, but still nothing. Battery seemed to die within 5 or 6 tries to start the car too. Was a little weak thou.. Help!!!!!!

It sounds like you battery. That clicking and everything happened to me when it died. I thought u wasnt because the radio still played but it wasnt enough power to turn the engine over. I bet its you battery.

Most likely battery, when u get it running have a multi meter on hand and check charging system Voltage. To check car has to be running and put leads (black to neg. Terminal and red to pos. Terminal) voltage should be 14.3 -14.5V that means your alternator is good.

Battery voltage - car off should be 12.5-12.8V but could still be bad cause the cca (cold cranking amps) could be way low. would need a battery load tester for that.

Also check if your battery as a health inindicator on it, a little clear sight hole, will either be green dot or red dot, obviously red means its bad.
