Loud noise coming from under car. Leaks water from front pipe connecting to tailpipe. Was running then all of a sudden battery ticking noise and car won’t start or no power. Any clue what it is? The car listed above is the SEL model.

Good afternoon,

I would start by checking the battery. It sounds like low voltage.

Okay, can you give me the voltage reading of the battery?

I need that as a starting point.

There is no power or anything to give you that.

That is why I need the voltage at the battery. You need a voltmeter to do this test.
