Sorry, this is not a reply, but a continuation of the problem. I don't think this is a simple dead battery. I have exactly the same problem, but with a much older vehicle. (1999 Ford Windstar SE) The battery and alternator were replaced 2 months ago with brand-new after market components. Vehicle was working fine a few days ago. The strangest thing is that the ticking is constant EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO KEY IN THE IGNITION! Boosting did not help, there was no reaction to the boost. The only way the ticking stops (yes, it does sound like a time bomb!) is if I try to start the car normally (when key is released, the ticking starts again) OR if I disconnect the battery. When I re-connect the battery, the ticking starts again. The ticking seems to be coming from a box (that I cannot seem to open) to the right of the battery. This might be the fuse box???

Thisr could be a door chime relay stuck closed, or fan relay, if the battery has been ran completely flat it may have to be charged for a good while to get it back up. Sometimes these type of problems have to be dug out, till you find what is killing the system. First check all interior lights to be sure they are off, don't forget the trunk, and glove box light, these are very overlooked items that will completely discharge a battery,very quickly. Please keep us abreast of how it is going, as always we are hear to help, as much as possible. Thanks for using 2CarPros

Having problems starting this vehicle. Electrical all seems to be working correctly: ie. all lights, sounds, panel works etc, however when trying to start all I get is a "click click click" sound. Is this a problem with the starter or something more?

You can have the battery tested at most auto parts stores. If the battery is good then I would check the positive and negative cables for a bad connection. There is a link below to test them if you have a meter, if not you can just try disconnecting them and cleaning the ends up with a wire brush. Or just replace them.

When I turn my car off it tends to reset itself. It makes a clicking noise and the needle in the gauges will start clicking. It will also reset the clock, lock the doors, and will not start for a few minutes.

Hello,

This sounds like you have a weak battery that is not supplying the correct voltage. Here is a guide to confirm the failure.
