I had to get a jump and once I did it ran fine but as soon as I turned it off it immediately only clicked and wont turn over. I put a battery charger on it and it tries to turn over but still wont start. I cleaned the terminals and cables and it made no difference. Its a 2001 Nissan sentra gxe. HELP!!!!!
Well if the altenator is charging it will run after getting a jump, you replied you put a battery charger on it but that dont mean the cold cranking amps are good or it could have a dead cell. I would have the battery tested for sure. If you didnt drive far after jump the altenator may be bad but having the battery charged and still does it tells me it is least likely. If the battery tests good the cables could be corroded under the sheath where you cant see. There are other reasons but from what you have posted sounds like you need a battery most auto stores test them for free (load test also)
How old is the battery?? is the battery and brake light lit on the dash while the car is running??
