    How to fix car:




    1) Take off shirt


    2) Buy a 6 or 12 pack of Miller Highlife


    3) Chill beer


    4) Move car to front of driveway


    5) Get a slidey thing with wheels


    6) Lay back on slidey thing


    6a) Swig beer and place beside you



    7) Tap undercarriage of car with various wrenches and tools


    8) Make sure plenty of folks see you


    9) Use white rag with black stains to wipe hands every five minutes after you get up from slidey thing. Make sure you say things like "yep", "that'll do", and "give her a start for me".


    If done properly and over the course of an entire afternoon there's a 17% chance your problem will be fixed.

      Sounds like a bad starter.
      Yeah, I just went back out to try again and on the first try the engine turned over and nearly started, I actually thought I had it for a second. Then try number 2 was just the clicking sound again.

          That sounds like your battery just isn't holding enough charge. If it was the starter it would be random when it tried to turn over. If it tries to turn over for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd time and then quits, it's just running out if juice.

                I hate dead batteries. My Jeep has one now. My wife and I work together and we rarely drive it. Basically, it just used when we have to transport the dogs to the vet or if one of us has a doctors appointment.

                Luckily, Wal Mart will exchange it if it dies within 2 years (iirc). This will be the third one I've brought back.....

                        Sounds like the same thing that happened with my fiance's car a couple months ago too. First try would yield some sound, then nothing after. It was the battery.

                        It'll run you like $100, and could get like $10-$15 back if you give them your old battery to be disposed of.

                            I tried this, but I just ended up drinking and passing out under the car.

                              Probably the last two years. If I recall correctly, this one is only 7-8 months old.

                              Yeah, but at least they're replacing them for free...

                              I do need to work on driving the Jeep more. Last week when I noticed the dead battery, I thought back and I can't remember cranking the thing since I came back from Christmas at my parents.

                              With all of the below freezing temps recently I should have known better.
