CAR WILL NOT START!!MOTOR DOESNT TURN

I'm a teenager. My 91 camaro re 305 tbi has been sitting in my drive way over night through two lightning storms. I go outside to go to work today and my car does not turn on. I put the key in, lights turn on, radio head turns on, I turn the ignition and nothing happens. Not even any sort of sound otherthen the ignition clicking. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM??? I NEED TO GET TO WORK!!!!

So the starter clicks? battery charge is too low to crank it over and/or bad connection on battery.

The battery has never shown signs flaw but, okay sounds reasonable. How would I go about fixing this...? Swapping out the battery?

Re: CAR WILL NOT START!!MOTOR DOESNT TURN

still have the battery tested. could be not holding a charge then your stuck jumping it again. Also a failed battery will put more stress on the alternator causing it to fail prematurely. check your stuff!
