My daughter's Mustang won't start after she just got done driving it home (~90 miles). Acted like a dead battery. Jumped it and it just clicks. While connected to other car the headlights would come on, while not being jumped all lights were dead. It's a manual tranny so we tried to push start it, but no luck. Any ideas what to look for? :(

yes it sounds like the battery. put a charge on the battery to see if it holds a charge. make sure the battery cables and terminals are free from corrosion. after you charge the battery (or replace it) then start the car and make sure the charging system is working properly. if you have a gauge it needs to be around 14.5 volts while running. or you can take the car to advance auto or auto zone and they will test your battery and charging system for free. hope this helps
