I drove my car this morning and it worked fine. When I went to take my daughter to school it wouldn't start.
I turned the key and all of the emblems on the dashboard lit up. The buzzer sounded. I heard a sound that sounded like something powering up and then, somewhere behind the center console, I heard a clicking noise, but the car wouldn't even turn over.
I need the car later today and have to get it going. I checked my Chilton's manual and it said something about the starter solenoid or the starter possibly being bad. The car has over 190,000 miles on it, so anything is possible.
Can anyone offer me some suggestions as to what I can check to try to fix it?
Thanks for your help.
