Two weeks ago I couldn't start up, the battery wasn't dead because the lights, radio, etc came on. There was just a ticking noise, really loud and quick...not sure if it was the alternator or starter or what. After a day of sitting, turning the ignition there was no immediate start just a chug, chug...I'd give it a minute and and then it would start up, didn't hear the ticking noise anymore. I was driving it for about 2 weeks, everything fine and just the other day I couldn't get anything, not even the chug, chug like it was even trying to turn over. Only the loud ticking noise from under the hood and now thats all it does. The radio flickers when I turn on the headlights, but the battery seems to have life. Not sure if its something I can fix myself, any advice would help thanks.
