Help, Strange Sound Coming From Starter, Car Dead


Recommended Posts

I have a 99 GS3. The battery is an Interstate, < 2 yrs old. Currently the car is dead, but there's a strange clicking/honking sound coming from the starter or somewhere near the starter. The security light is still blinking, but all other electronics are dead.

If the battery is dead, what's the clicking/honking sound? The noise sounds like it is a combination of both a click and a honk, frequency is maybe a little faster than a second, and I know I didn't hear the sound when I left the car 4 hrs earlier. BTW, the clicking sound occurs with or without the key in the ignition. Will a jump resolve my issue? Will a new battery resolve it?

Many thanks in advance.

Andrew
