I'm going to keep this short and simple. I hate over-ranting but this is something that has to be done.
The heater in my car hasn't been working. I live in North Dakota. That means that I get to drive around in this weather without any heating. Fantastic. Anyway, we're waiting on this part to arrive (will take about a week or so) so we can get it fixed.
In the meantime, I'm driving my dad's old '94 pickup. Anyway, I go out to warm that baby up before work and, in what has to be the most predictable scenario of all-time, it doesn't start.

No noise would come out when I turned the key, but the radio, lights etc. all worked.
Anyone in the know, does this sound like battery problems, or something worse?
If your lights and radio came on w/o a problem is probably not the battery. Could be a starter but normally you can tell its going out before it just dies.

lol, that's okay. I probably should not have hijacked your thread!

Hmm. I guess I'll just have to get it looked at. Damn, and I had my finances planned out through July.

Definitely ask someone that's more mechanicly inclined then I am though, I don't know a whole lot about working on cars.
