Turn the key it clicks once but wont start, but the lights and radio come on. Tried jump starting and nothing. Then bump started it and that worked drove it for a good forty five minutes hoping that would solve the problem. I turned engine off and it would not start again. Is it a new battery or a new starter motor that it needs?

If that does not fix you up,

an auto parts store should be able to test your battery, normally they will do it for free.

Return bearing good news!
