My CAR WON"T START! Please help!?

Question:
here's the details, I'm in frigid Wisconsin, the car was running a month or 5 weeks ago, it was having some problems with the wheel bearings (i think) so i parked it and forgot to start her up in between then and now. Now she won't start. It just makes a clicking noise when i try to turn the key. I don't think it's the battery because the lights still come on and the radio works, and i know it's not outa gas because i just put some in. What else could cause a failure to start?

Answers:

Why does my car struggle to move forward when it's in first gear?

It's probably the battery - just because the radio and/or lights operate don;t let tha fool you. It takes a LOT of current flow to turn a cold/frozen starter and engine over. I bet that i fyou hook up a charger or you boost it, it will start. The cold really affects batteries and starters - at 0 degreea F, your battery has half the voltage available that it holds at 18 degrees. Conversely, the starter motor requires twice as much voltage to turn at 0 versus 18.

Is it in cold weather?? The engine could be the problem. Call CAA or any other towing company and have them do something about it.
