My battery has a full charge but the car just clicks when I try to start it. I have a 1998 Ford Escort Lx. If I get a jump from another veghicle the car starts right up. Is this the altenator and where is the altenator located on my car?

Most likely a bad battery. The batteries in the Land Rovers, as well as other batteries, are lasting about three to four years so if yours is now 5 years old, it's probably time for a replacement. Have you tried slow charging it to full capacity or having someone jump starting you to see if the veghicle will crank over? If that works, I'd look at having the battery replaced. I made a lot of short trips with a new 2013 LR4 and the Battery Low warning came on and I had to slow charge the battery overnight to bring it up to correct voltage. The difference between a good and bad battery is only a bit more than a half volt when fully charged,(12.6 or 12.7 volts full vs 12.00 less than 25% charged and 11.9 dead) so if your battery when charged doesn't show above about 12.5 volts it's time for a replacement.

if the belt also runs the alternator the belt was off your battery woiuld not charge.

Dirty connection at the battery post ?

start with the battery. needs at least 11 or 12 volts to start the car. By no lights, do you mean nothing, absolutely nothing comes on? no lights on dash when you turn key to on? If so, need to check battery connections. are they both tight and clean? Is battery fully charged? Before you can diagnose the car you musthave a good battery that is fully charged. Then you can try and start it. If it still wont start or crank over you may have a main fuse out that would be under hood near battery.

the starter solenoid is bad. time to buy a new starter

buy a new battery

probably the alternator, but it could be something else too.

Ignition switch?

possible fuse box , they are a sandwich type and are prone to dry joints or overheating .

change battery ,if it starts with jump leads battery flat or altenator not charging
