I walk I to my garage to start the car and the battery was dead. I bought a new battery and the front battery less than a year ago. My door lock button on my key is broken and its the only key I have so sometimes my radio turns on itself since the doors don't lock. I can't understand why the radio turns on itself? I'm boosting it with my other car and it makes a little click sound and doesn't want to start. I replaced my battery control module about 2 years ago or so. Not sure why the car won't start after boost.

How long does your car sit between starts...days or just overnight? When mine died, a normal jump start didn't cut it...had to let it charge w/ a battery charger for a bit. The clicking is just signs of life but not enough to even turn the starter over.

Sounds like it doesn't have enough of a charge to crank over with it clicking. I would just go buy a new battery since obviously the ones you have has been drained completely. Good luck.

Before getting new batteries. I'd find out why your radio is coming on. Because its going to continue to drain the batteries.

Thanks for the feedback fellas. It's not my everyday car but it never goes more than 3 days without being started. I removed the battery and took it to the MB parts and they said battery is completely shot and I bought a 75amp battery instead of 100amp. MB wants $275 for the battery. I also bought a newer key for $257. Not sure if anyone else has these issues but I guess you'd need to have a broken key to see that the radio turns itself on

Wow...buy an Interstate battery for a 1/3rd of that. If your only going 3 days before a 1 year old battery is dying their is definitely a short or it's the radio thing....I never lock my doors and my radio doesn't stay on, if it were me...I would figure out the radio fuse & pull it to see of the battery draining stops.

Wow man that sux. But I would always buy a strong battery since these cars suck up a lot of juice to operate. Good luck

Yeah I have a few days so ill see where I can the best battery for the best price. I ordered a new key so the radio turning on anymore won't be an issue.

Interstate's are fantastic batteries, I use them for my business in all our trucks that get killed from a battery standpoint between sitting around and my guys leaving gps's & all kinds of crap plugged into the cig lighters on when they leave and they've proven themselves quite well.
I've tried others w/o the same success.

I'm also a very big fan of interstate. I always go for an Interstate when I can get it. If they make one that fits I'd get one. Also spend the extra couple bucks for the stronger battery WELL worth it.
