Hi i have not driven my saab for about 3months i tried to start it and all it does is make a clicking sound the lights all come on, and later it started dying the lights and all. Please help me I'm on a tight budget so this mightbe cheap or $$$$. thanks

Answer
Teace:
 Sounds like a dead battery...can you obtain a battery charger to charge it up? That is the first recommendation. If that doesn't help, I would have the battery checked (Walmart does it at no charge), and then consider getting a new one; it should be around $50.
 Of course it could be many other things, but since you noted the car was idle for a period and apparently functioned well before, the above is the most likely condition.

  Hope this helps,
