I have my car on a battery conditioner, the other week I started the car after a couple of weeks not doing and it just about started.
Yesterday I tried starting it all the ignition ligts etc came on but the car wouldnt start Ijust 'ticked' very loudly without firing up. Does anyone have any ideas??

thanks

You need a new battery ?

had the same on my motor, make sure connections are connected tightly, if not replace the battery.

You could just jump start the motor and take the car for a drive just to get sme juice back in the battery. (short term plan but only time till the battery gives up)

Sorry ! Bit abrupt, the battery could be on it's last legs, or the alternator is leaking current through the diodes. You may have a Tracking Device that's using too much power ( not going into sleep mode after a period of time).

Same happened with my 03 STI. Currently use a battery conditioner now, but ended up having 3 batteries under warranty. Current one is a VARTA.
