I was driving through town and stopped at a redlight. My car just died and wouldn't start or drift start so I pushed it to the nearest parking space. All it would do is click when I turned the key. I checked the battery and it was good. My dad came and tried to jump it, eventually we got it to sound like it was about to start, but it wouldnt. After disconnecting the cables, it went back to just clicking. With all this goin on, the lights still work, the horn, and the stereo. I just bought the car about 2 wks ago and all I've done to it is install a stereo (using a wiring harness adapter, no splicing). What could be wrong?
