Help : Car Not Starting Up

[Kenji4861]

I go to my car this morning, try to start it up and it doesn't. I try to turn on the light and it's very dim... so I figured the batteries low..

but, the meters won't stop twitching.. even with the key out. I don't think anything was left on yesterday either. Should I get AAA to jumpstart me? I have a feeling it's going to happen again in the day if something's screwed up with the car. or should I call Honda to fix it. This is a 02 Civic by the way.

Thanks for any tips guys.

If the starter doesn't crank, then the first thing you should try is a jump.

If it's a manual, push-start it..

If it's an auto, jumpstart.

Uhh... don't push start a car with a catalytic converter. Read the fscking owners manual.

Keep in mind if the battery is screwed (blown cell) then even jumping it might not work. Try a new similar battery from a friends car if you can.

Hey, simple always works... make sure your battery connections are tightened up.
