My 2006 tC won't start. It can be a little slow to start here and there, but today it won't start at all. All my lights come on, radio...
I turn the key and it makes a constant clicking noise until I release the key. I tried to jump my car and same thing, lights and clicking noise.

Any ideas?

Sounds like a dead battery.

make sure you battery terminals are tight and clean bc somtimes the car will get power to turn everything on but their wont be enough power runing through the terminals on the baterry to turn over the starter. and make sure that the jumper cables are grounded good.

has this clicking ever happend before? if so i would lean towards a bad starter but deff check the battery first.

Sounds like a starter. have a friend crank it over so u can smack the starter with a hammer

I have never heard the clicking noise before. This is the first time.

Cranking drains battery, low voltage causes starter solenoid to disengage(click), battery "rests" and voltage rises, starter solenoid engages(click), cranking drains battery...

So you've tried to jump start it but can't? Probably the starter then, like StreetSweeper said, get a friend to crank the car for you, while you hit the starter with a hammer to try and help it.

Get it to Autozone or a place like that. They has a load tester to test the battery.

My 2008 tc wont start at all. All lights come on normally but there is no clicking either. This is the second time its happend the dealer could figure out the problem either. Any guesses??

Do the easy stuff first. Check fuses ; Go get battery checked (free at autozone/pepboys); get started tested.

Battery checks out great fuses are great but ill do another check
