My ‘03 Suburban made a screaming noise when I tried to start it.I took the keys out,and it didnt stop?
rander75 asked:
It kept trying to turn over, even we were out of the car (like it was posessed!!), for several minutes, before it finally died out. Now it is totally dead. I tried to start it again a few minutes later, and it started clicking loudly. That went on for another few minutes before totally dying. Now i cant even lock the doors with the remote, or set the alarm. Is it the battery, or alternator? Should I attempt to jump it? I didn’t leave anything, like the lights, on at all to cause the battery to drain. Any suggestions what it could be, I mean, of course before I call Auto Club and have it towed to the dealer??

It sounds like the relay for your starter, or something in the ignition switch locked up and made the starter continually turn over. The starter turning drains alot of energy and to have it continually turning like that drained out your battery easily. The clicking you hear now just means the starter doesn’t have enough battery life left to turn over. I’d have it towed to a shop and see what is going on with your starter before you try to jump it.
Yeah…what he said!
starter or relay have a mech look into it
