I have a 1997 Ford Crown Victoria with 154,000 miles and when I try to crank up the car all I hear is a click sound, Also if I try to crank up the car with the headlights on they go about half way deam. I just brought the battery about 6 months ago and I don't know whats the problem could it be the alternator or the starter or (someone told me) it could be the battery relay?

The battery is dead, it would need to be charged on a charger and checked, once its checked, then you can check other charging system components, but the battery needs to be at 12 volts first, so start there, checking the battery after a jumpstart does not count as charging,

thanks
