Consumer Description

CAR SUDDENLY WILL NOT START. RELATIVELY NEW BATTERY, HAS NOT BEEN USED TO JUMP OTHER VEHICLES. WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED ON, THE LIGHTS AND RADIO COME ON FULL POWER, BUT THE NEEDLES IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER VIBRATE AND BUZZ AND A CLICKING SOUND CAN BE HEARD FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR. LEFT ON SOMEONE ELSE BATTERY FOR 20 MINUTES, NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR, SO CABLES WERE PULLED OFF OTHER VEHICLE AND CLACKED TOGETHER AT SAME TIME TAURUS WAS STARTED. THE SPARK LED TO IGNITION FOR SOME REASON.
