Starts well, all of a sudden it refuses to start after being parked for a short time with the egnition off and al lights off. when I turn the ignition on, all the gauges swing all the way to max and then back again. when i try to start it all there is is a loud rapid clicking sound. "HELP"
Either bad battery connections or a bad (dead) battery.

sounds like your starter motor might be stuffed....might need to replace it

You might want to take the battery out and have it checked. Parts stores will check it for free, so that would be 1st step. Make sure connections are clean and tight. If it's the original battery, it's 4 years going on 5 old, which is the life span expected, and the clicking noise can be classic bad battery symptom. If battery checks out ok, it may be the starter, so 1st make sure the battery is good. countrycurt0

This sounds like a classic bad connection either at the battery or engine ground. Check and recheck all your connections and be sure they are clean and tight.
