05 srt-4, 21xxx miles... and the motherfucker isn't starting.

i can hear the starter clicking when i turn the key, but no life at all from the engine. should i: A) push start the car and haul ass to a mechanic, assuming it's something fucked up in the actual starter, or B) have the bitch towed, assuming it's something much worse, and raise a giant stink at the local dodge dealership?

how do i go about troubleshooting this? i've been pretty lucky in that i've never had anything prevent my car from starting other than a complete lack of gas or juice in the battery.

Do you have any mods on your car?

If you just hear a fast clicking while trying to start, its just the battery is dead. Try jump starting. Either way, everything should be warrenty'd. Just call the dealer, let me know your coming, and drop it off.

Yeah them Exides are usually only good for two years. Chrysler just switched over to Interstates a few months ago. Hopefully they will have a little more life. But it seems like every car I own gets a new battery every two years no matter what brand.

:lol: i usually swap in and out of cars quick enough that it doesn't matter. this is the longest i've ever stuck with one. i guess that explains my ignorance here.
