Hi! The car has a problem starting. It behaves as if the battery is dead. Half the time, the battery appears completely dead. The other half of the time, the radio and interior light will come on but the engine won't even turn over. Sometimes, I can hear a ticking like it's trying to start and other times, there is no noise. The alternator is good, and the belts were completely replaced about 2 months ago. There was some corrosion on the terminals, which I cleaned off, but it did not solve the problem. Do I just need a jump? Thanks!
