Just hopped in the car a few minutes ago to go and grab something to eat and the car didn’t start. When I first turned the key it sounded like it was trying to start up but was sounding slow. I didn’t want to keep the key turned like that so I let it go and tried again and the second time it makes a rapid clicking sound almost when held and the engine didn’t sound like it was turning at all.

I will mention that the car is from Florida and recently my fiance and I moved to Utah where for the past week it’s been consistently in the 30’s during the day and upper to mid 20s at night. So I don’t know if the cold could be affecting anything. There was a few days when I was heading to work in the morning and it was about 23 degrees out and it didn’t have an issue then. Today would be the first time that I noticed anything odd with starting it.

    Almost 100% certain that it’s a bad battery. I drive an old Corolla and once had a situation where everything was working fine, went into Walgreens, came back out and straight up would not start. Cold weather does not help

    I recommend going to wal-mart and getting a maxx start battery. Definitely best bang for your buck.
