I am trying to sell it and it sat cold for a little over a month. When I tried to start it, it sounds like it will turnover, barely 1 or 2 times. As I continue to keep the key turned it makes a rapid clicking sound. I tried to jump it but it did the same thing.
The car is immaculate; the battery leads are clean. Is it a problem with the solenoid?
I don't know much about cars. Is this something I can fix and avoid a tow and a mechanic?
Thanks
