please post a more detailed message

what year is your car?
i4 or V6?
mileage?

is it the battery?

[anfield]

if there are ticking sound each time you turn your ignition key, probably the starter...

is it a ticking noice or is it just like a click. if its just like a click it could be that the battery is dead. hows your battery? maybe a blown fused link.

If it goes "tick tick tick tick tick" rapidly repeatedly, it may be the battery. Well...that was my symptom anyway.

Walk in a counterclockwise circle three times, touch your nose, take two steps back and get a new battery.
