2003 S Type Won't Start!!!

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi all-
Brand new here, so hope ANYONE can assist!
SO, I wake up yesterday, get into my 2003 S Type V8 and when I put the key in and turn it over, all I hear is: "Click click click click."
I turn the key back, then all the sudden the horn starts going off.
The brake pedal is depressed, so I am thinking it is in some kind of a security mode.
Does anyone have any thoughts, ideas, suggestions.
BTW, the battery seems charged. All the elctronics work (radio, lights, windows, etc.).
HELP!!!!!!!
Thanks you,
Ryan

Welcome Ryan!,... Mmmm 'Click click click' you say? if it was me i will try to Jump Start the car to see if it will work or not. The battery may seems charged to lights, horn, windows, and so on. But if the battery have's a Bad Cell, (I'm sure thats what it is) it's not going to start your jag! So when you Jump Start the jag AND IT WORKS (DON'T TURN OFF THE CAR!!) until you go get yourself a New Battery. Good Luck
