Turn every power draining thing off and try again, it might be the battery low and not enough power to crank it over, or it could be the starter motor.

Well i tryed what he said and i got 3 clicks this time. And now everything is running bad. Car only half unlocks, boot makes click noise but doesnt open. So i guess he was right, it was the battary drained. FML. Now i gotta call a friend to bring a jump starter. Now i just hope that my battary was low and not actually dead. Dont wana buy another battary :(

Don't forget to take your car for a nice long, constant velocity drive to recharge the battery, after you jump her. No harsh acceleration. Constant RPM.

Anything around 230+ km/h should do the trick. (TOTALLY KIDDING :boxing:)

Sounds like starter motor,that clicking noise could be the solenoid sticking. Had the same problem with mine.

that wont fully charge the battery, and needs to be charged overnight with something like a ctek charger

HEY GUYS. MY VE SV6 ISNT STARTING.

BATTARY IS FINE BECAUSE BOOT OPENS, MUSIC OPENS, CAR UNLOCKS, LIGHTS ARE ON.

It just makes a TICK noise when i turn the key. Any idea what i can do right now?

1. I'm blotto and probably shouldn't be starting anything
2. Your battery is ####ed.
