If you have a battery tester or volt meter check the voltage at the battery, if not try getting a boost to your battery from another car or charging the battery if you have access to a charger.

Tried jumping it....dash lights lite up like a xmas tree, but still wouldnt turn over..just clicked....and the battery didnt seem to hold a charge. Im going in the morning to check the battery, but have to take tire off first. not sure who the einstein designer was....
never had a problem before...just went out to my car, tried to start it...and the rest is history.
im going to take it to Autozone and have it checked
