Figures I have to make a post about my car being a piece of shit after I get it “fixed.” Anyways, drove the car around all last night and it was fine. Battery was charged from when I had it sitting. When I turn the key, all I hear is a loud sort of whining noise of the fuel pump coming on. It won’t turn over or anything. I can’t find a battery charger and my jumper cables are in my truck a half an hour away, so I tried to use this thing called “Simple Start” by Black&Decker, but that didn’t work either. So I’m thinking it’s not the battery. What could it possibly be? I know there are tons of things, but most common? I mean, it is really cold out. Think my lines are frozen? I have almost a full tank of gas, premium/regular mixture. Or, ignition switch? Fuel pump about to take a shit? Thanks. ---

DO the lights/radio and shit work fine? Try tapping your starter a few times with a hammer and see if it turns over. ---

Yup. Lights work. Radio works. Usually when the battery is low I can atleast hear it try and turn over. It doesn’t even try. ---

if it’s not clicking try tapping on the starter. my golf’s staring solenoid used to lock up all the time. ---
