(I didnt mention this part before, but Ill add it on now)
the funniest thing:
I left the damn foglights on and it burned out my battery, so when I went to start the car it wouldnt even TRY to start. If I tuen the key everything would just turn off. OK fine, that is the battery's fault right there. So then, I go upstairs and get my portable booster. I connect the pos and neg to the battery, try to start it up, and now all I get is the clicking noise. Now, I know the battery has juice cause after I connected the booster the power windows and lights would function. So anyway, how can I tell if the starter or the starter soleniod is messed up? What is the key method of finding out?
Another strange thing, I tried to push my car but it wont budge?<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>??? What the hell, I thought that if I put the car in neutral, I could push the damn thing, it wont budge at all. Is that a clue as to what the problem is? hmmmmmm, any help is appreciated,
and one last thing, if I can start it up by tapping the starter, what does it mean-
a)starter is messed up
b)starter solenoid is messed up
c)cannot be determine by the method
