Hi,

I stick the key in the ignition and a ticking starts. Then we I turn the key, the lights dim and the car won't start. Any information would be great. Thank you so much

The car won't start.-Does it crank and refuses to start or just won't crank at all/nothing?

Test the battery condition and its connections -then comeback

It won't start at all, nothing happens. I checked the the battery. There is a little corrosion on the terminals. Other than that everything is connected tight.
