So I was fortunate enough to be involved in a hit and run the other day. Long story short, the car got to sit around for a week or so without being driven. Finally when going to start it up to take it to the collision repair place, I found that my battery was dead.... Sooo I got it jumped, no biggie, and took it to autozone to see if my battery was bad... And he said it was....

So i changed it to a Duralast bought from them. Here is the bad part.... I had noticed corrosion on the negative terminal/battery, so i cleaned it up.. and then put the terminals back onto the battery... andddd CLICK CLICK CLICK! the car wouldnt even pretend to try to turnover.. And the lights were noticeable flickering... After a little adjustment, the lights stabilized, but still clicking and no starting.... Soooo I jumped it, drove around with no problems for 20 min.. stopped.... turned it off.. tried to restart it.... and all i got was more CLICKING!....

Does anyone have any idea what is going on!?!?!?! The terminals are secured firmly on the battery, the car's elextricity seems to be working (radio, interior lights)...

Thanks,

Kolme
