Alright, i just became a member of this site about five minutes ago because i was trying to find an answer for a little problem im having.

I have an 89 Camaro, and i cant seem to get it to start... I figured it was just the battery so i tried jumping it and it still didnt work. All it does is makes a loud constant clicking noise, instead of turning over.

Any help or suggestions would be great.

I had the same problem about 6 weeks ago, just charge the battery overnight and it should start up.

Use a battery charger on like a 2 amp setting on the battery over night.

It is possible to overcharge the battery......however, I believe most chargersprevent overcharging.
