Battery dead. Hooked up to charger. Try to start and a LOUD BRRRRRRR or Clucking sound comes from under the hood. Car will not start. Put a charger on the thingy under the hood to jump start but didn’t work. Battery itself is in the trunk. Should I have put the charger there instead?
Sharon not quite sure about the noise, but from what you are describing it is the starter solenoid making that noise. Recharge you battery and have it checked to see if it holds a charge. If a new battery does not fix that, check the starter itself. You can try to “hotwire” it to see if it works, most likely you will need to replace it.
Has it been sitting there for a while? If it tries to turn over, then the battery is fine. When was the last time you replaced your plugs and wires? It seems like its the actual starter or some component thereof rather than the battery. Hope this helps
