Major Issue!!!

So right now, I'm stuck at my school because my car decided to NOT work... For some reason, I turn the key to start it, and everything shuts off and all I get is the service engine soon light. When I try to unlock the car with the clicker, all my inside lights flicker, and there's a ticking noise coming from the fuse box (both on the drivers side panel and the engine box). I have no clue what is wrong.. I checked all my wiring for the LED mods I've done, and nothing is exposed. I even disconnected it all, and still nothing.

Mine did this the other day when I tried to start it with the driver's door open. closed the door and put the key back in and it started right up.

Wish I could help man, Hopefully the gremlins just have your car for a few minutes and all will be well in due time.

turned out to be a dead battery. Tried jumping it, but the battery was just dead... So, $78 later, I finally have my car up and running again. It's just never done that to me before when the battery was going out. So I was a little freaked out as to what it could have been. Decided to just say heck with it and buy a new battery. Thank goodness that's what it was. haha

Yes that's what I would have guessed. The clicking sound is the relay opening to let power through but there isn't enough to engage anything.


Were there any warning sings leading up to this or was it simply dead one morning?
