I tried to crank up my car and the lights came on, it clicked, but it would not start and the mileage on my car never came on. My CD player time went back to 1:00 pm.

Make sure your battery cables are not corroded. also, have your battery tested and make sure your battery cables are tight.
Then if you get it started we need to see if it is charging.
