----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi! When I tried to jump my car with my jumpstart kit, I accidentally put my negative clamp to painted metal part of the car and try to jump it. So now my car dosent even try to start, when i turn the key. It just make CLICK sound, and nothing else. Fuses are OK. Could it just be empty battery? Or did i broke something, with my thoughtless actions. Thanks.

Hi there,

As long as your car is Neg earth, Battery negative to body. You will have no problems , you may have a flat battery, or loose and corroded battery terminals, if these are OK, the usual problem is a faulty starter motor.
