Squeaking wheels?

The battery could be dead, or almost dead. It just has enough power to pull the solenoid over, and turn the starter motor very slowly..click click click. The relays going on and off.

Try turning on the lights first, THEN starting the car. This will really drain the battery and you will see the lights go DIMMER, and maybe hear NO CLICK at all.
