Why doesn't my car turn on? Please help?
I drive a 1999 honda accord v6. It has 230k miles. However, it was my dads and they bought it brand new and have always took really good care of it. I just got my license 6 months ago and they gave me the car, so I hardly have that much time with it. I don't know much about cars, but my dad always checks it for me. It runs super great and always turns on right away and never had a problem.
Just last night I went out to the mall with my cousins and got home at 11:30pm. Everything was fine. This morning at 8am when I was getting ready to leave to class, my car simply wouldn't turn on. This is the first time it's ever happened to me or anybody. When I turn the key it just keeps clicking but doesn't turn on. My uncle gave me a jump start and that didnt work. He told me it needs a new starter. The lights work fine and the radio too. What could be the problem? The battery number reads 13.8.
I don't want to tell my dad, so I will be going to the mechanic by myself. Thanks for help
