The other day I tried to start it and it would not start, all it did was make a click and I turned on the ignition. then yesterday I went out was going to get it towed somewhere turn the ignition and it started right up. I turned it off and tried to start it again and I got nothing but click. I am wondering if you could get me a battery dash discharged does the radio and lights and everything are working or does it sound like a starter with a bad spot in the starter? thank you

Hello, I'm Danny.

It does sound like you are having a starter motor-or solenoid issue. Most auto parts stores will test for free. Here are a few tutorials starter related for you to view:

After having your starter tested get back to us with the results and we'll go from there. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
