What did you try jump starting it from?

a falcon?

hmmm nar....well i was gunna say if you hav 2 flat batteries it wont jump.....

are u sure you had a good connection on all the terminals??

because the fast clicking sound just sounds like a flat battery to me...

[shredder667]

will try again in a bit but looked like a pretty happy connection. the alarm was definitely a lot louder when they were hooked up so i guess it made some difference

Did you just have hte other car idling whilst doing it.

Nearly all cars I've jumped have need the jumping vehicle to rev engine to around 3000RPM before attempting to hit the key on the dead car.

Sometimes letting the connection sit for 30secs can help (But don't do it with shit jumpers) and also make sure the jumpers are hooked up the right way.

Same thing happened to me after pulling my car out of the garage the other day. Needed to be connected to a running commodore for about 10 mins before it wanted to start. Then after a 40 minute drive she was all sweet
