Well, I just got my car running awesome. Went to get in to go to work today, no start. Just makes that buzzing sound...maybe the start solenoid went out? in short, a push start was necessary to get to work haha.

It's in the shop now...I don't have time to mess with this.

What was the problem? battery died?

like a ticking and buzzing sound? i had the same a while back, my alternator was dying on me so id park the car overnight and it would be a dead battery in the morning, just test the battery voltage, if its normal its most likely the alternator

Bad alternator, Live feed somewhere drawing power. Only things i can think of. Try those. Pull the alternator and have it tested at a local auto store.

it actually turned out to be the battery...the battery would no longer allow a charge. new battery and everything is good.

I love it when it's something simple and not very expen$ive!
