I can turn the lights on and everything, but when i try to start the car it doesnt crank, i just hear a click. Is that a bad starter?

 

Most likely a dead battery or a battery with a weak cell

I bought the battery 5 months ago. The car has never had any battery problem? What do you think? #telcoman

 

If your battery has vent caps pick up a battery hydrometer and test the individual cells. (about $10.00)



Have you tried jumper cables or calling AAA?

No because i have been working. I am going to check it later when i get home. Let me tell you, so you know a little more. It had the same problem yesterday after i got out of work, i opened the hood and moved the positive cable in the battery, then i tried to start the car and the engine started on my 4th intent. Today in the morning when i rode my gf to school it started on my second try but then when i was going to my job. The car just did bot want to start and i moved the cables again and everything.

 

The positive and negative battery cables should be tight enough so they cannot move. There should also be no corrosion on either the battery terminals or the cables.
There is a battery wire brush that can clean the battery terminals and the battery cable clamps.
I suggest you obtain one

Good luck

I got a jumper from a friend and the car just started. I will clean the battery and i will make sure the cable will be tight. Thank you very much
