i just clean both my car battery terminals yesterday with the brush and some baking soda.

and now my car wont start, its not getting any juice.. and my cig lighter is making a clicking noise.

whats wrong? anyone experienced this?

well i got the car to start , but i had to jump it, i think its either a fuse or the negative battery wire is too corroded.[spelchk?]

anyone know if it could be the fuse? its too dark to check right now i have to check tomorrow, but i have to goto to work tomorrow.. dayam

I can't think of a fuse that would do that. . . car would only start with a jump. Just sounds like your battery got drained.

I have had this problem in my friend's car. Try all you connections GOOD! Make sure that the terminals are fitted tight. It could be you altenator too.

Take your car by an autozone. They will test the battery, starter, and alternator for free.
