Holden Captiva. The battery appears to be flat as when I go to turn it over it just makes a clicking noise. Am I able to jump start the Captiva with my little Nissan pulsar?

Hi Leana a couple of things spring to mind, Yes it could be a matter of a flat battery.You haven't mentioned what year or if it's petrol or diesel.if it's petrol as long as the second car battery is good should be ok. If it's diesel it may struggle but only by trying will you know. However i would advise leads used should be fitted with a surge device to protect all on board computers (ECUs).Connect good battery negative lead to neg batt terminal & Positive lead to poss terminal, on poor battery positive lead to pos terminal on batt and negative lead to a good earth point on 'engine' Be very careful not to reverse any polarities or touch the two cables together. Depending on year of vehicle if series 2 diesel have come across starter motor main cable or alternator main cable or both where the securing nut has come loose damaging starter and loom and alternater wire. This also creates either a clicking noise and or a no start. advise Holden dealer repair.Good luck.

2010 Holden Captiva won't start

Yes, the security alarm and immobilizer need resetting. The problem is, because it is a Holden there isn't much on Google because I am in Canada. This link may work better for you than me. The chip in the key, and the transponder need to be recognized by the ECM and Security System Module.

Take your vechile to a auto parts stor ex: NAPA, and have them check your battery. You may have a dead cell in the battery. In winter you need "COLD CRANKING AMPS". You may need a new one
