Why is my car making a clicking sound when I try to start it? The lights are turning on for a little bit but the engine is not turning over. My car is not that old!
It is likely that your bar battery is causing this issue. Your battery may have enough power to tun on the lights and connect to the starter, but not sufficient voltage to start your car.  Modern car batteries last an average of three years, so if your car battery is three years or older it is within the replacement window.  You can have your battery tested at an auto parts store or mechanic to confirm if it is a battery issue, or if there could be another issue, such as an alternator issue.
