Default 1989 Camaro wont start

I have a 1989 rs camaro v8 305

I have never had a problem starting it before but now all it dose it click. It was and still is very cold out and the car had ice all over it don't know if that could be the issue or not. Also i should mention that i checked my coolant level and it was very low so i filled it up but still wont start just clicks. Any ideas what this might be ? Thanks in advance


Also the lights do work and my security light dose not stay on and my car was so icy that my door locks wouldn't open O.o

Sounds like your battery may have taken a dump. Cold snaps will do that to a battery that's on it's last leg. But first, check all your connections for corrosion, pos. and neg. battery terminals, as well as at the starter and the battery to body/frame grounds.

If it only clicks once when you turn the key, I'd say its the starter's solenoid or loose wiring. If it clicks multiple times when you turn the key, its most likely a weak battery
