It is freezing in Colorado to say the least. And like an idiot I left my car outside last night. I tried to start it and it was dead. From there we tried to jump it and nothing happenned. I rolled it inside the garage to let it warm up and it now is getting power from the battery but it just "clicks" when i try to start it. What can I do? Please help. _________________ FREDDIE |

Check the battery voltage with a DMM. S/B at least 12.5 V. If not put a low rate (<10 A) charger on it overnight.
It may be just a battery that has died a normal death. _________________
