Hey guys,

I woke up this morning to find that my car wouldn't start. The lights
and symbols in my dash were turning on and of in a way I had never seen
before and my motor was making a very strange sound. The sound was
coming from the front of the engine near the cooling fan and it sounded
alomost like an impact wrench. I could see the starter down there so
I'm assuming that is probably the problem. I also noticed in the last
few start ups that there was a brief squeeling noise while starting the
car up. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

~G

The squealing sound seems to indicate fan belt problems maybe thus possibly
causing no alternator charge to battery. Check condition of belt. Replace or
tighten. It might not even be there anymore , who knows. You could of been
just going on battery alone.

Sounds like a dead battery.
