Gee, maybe we can get a little bet going here....lol.

I'm going with the starter too......alternator/regulator keep the battery charged......unless it hasn't been used enough since that went out to take down the battery so the accessories wouldn't work, the logical option would be the starter.....especially since a jump woudn't get the car going either.......click click click is usually a starter sound.

Let us know......I get so frustrated with car problems.....so far so good with my truck.....only strange sound was after I had my breaks done....really scared me...wondered what in the world they had done to my truck breaks....I stopped & parked it at my next destination & the sound continued......it was the weather warning sirens for the bad storm that was about to hit (duh...not used to that sound being from California). I always think the worst of my autos even when it has nothing to do with them.....lol.

My favorite problem with my truck is my emergency flashers......my dog likes to turn them on when I leave him alone in the truck.....if I don't catch it soon enough.....DEAD BATTERY.......DEAD DOG!!!! especially when I was at my friends house in the middle of the winter in a snow storm.......was ready to throw him out in the storm & make him walk home.
