Whats the difference between four wheel drive and all wheel drive?

Well, if this is a serious question, the ticking would happen once everytime you turn the key, and that would be your starter solenoid activating, but your starter is not turning. Could be you battery is dead, or it could be a starter problem. If the battery is not dead, check the connection between the solenoid and the starter if the solenoid is not integral with the starter. If the connection is good or if the solenoid is integral with the starter, replace the starter.

Check the battery cables. They have to be clean and tight. If you have someone jump start your car make sure they know what they are doing. Doing it wrong can cause serious problems and injury. Have the battery and charging system checked at an auto parts store or shop.

I assume there is ticking sound when you turn the key into start position. If that's the case - it's either a dead battery (more likely) or a bad starter.

Look for white corrosion around the terminals and clean it off first - lightly with a little sand paper. If this solves the problem and you get your car started, coat the terminal with greese to keep it from corroding again.
