Hello!

I recently replaced the battery in my corolla in June and all has been well until recently. When I try to start my car, it takes a few turns of the ignition for it to start. When clicking, the dash lights and radio come on but the engine doesn't start.

What needs to be fixed?

One honest guy said it may be a loose battery cable?
