Dodge Neon Clicks But Wont Start, Dash Lights Only Come On When.. Sign In

Hello! thanks for the help in advance

A cold front has hit and of course my car has been acting funny ever since. Well this morning when I tried to start it, nothing happened. Before, when it's just been the starter, literally nothing happened -- no noise, nada. But now I get a repetitive click and while the lights dont come on then, when I'm pulling the key back out, the lights on the dash will work when it's in accessory mode.

Any thoughts as to whether this is a probable battery situation? Starter? Something else?

Thank you much.

First, you have to know that the battery is good. Charge/test or get a new one, still good to test even a new one. Then you can move on to other parts of the starting system.

Goiserclause is correct. This is sounding like a bad battery so it needs to be tested first. Cold weather exposes bad batteries.
