when i first attempted to start the car it acted as though the engine was trying to start but just sounded very weak before it would then just shut down and it would just start making a clicking noise while trying to start, i tried to boost car but same thing is still happening, could it still be battery or fuse box shows it has fuse for batt:1-2-3, am totally confused, not a technician, which goes without saying but if it is half way simple am always ready to do what i can to save a repair bill,(retired) any help would be appreciated
What makes this problem better or worse?
this is first time,started the day before with no problems

It does sound like your battery is weak. You could have a bad cell in the battery that doesn't allow it to be jump started or the car you're jumping it off of is not powerful enough. Try keeping the jumpers connected to the other car while its running for 20 minutes.That may give it the boost you need but you probably need a battery.

Thanks for the reply,I did go by my Buick dealer, he too said it sounded like battery so i took the battery to have it checked, even though he charged the battery and it said it was good because it was original battery, i went ahead and purchased a new one went back and put it in car and did start, i really think it was the battery. Thank you so much, I really appreciate you responding..Larry
