Ok, on my way to the bank, stopped in to get money. I return to the car, get in, put key in try to start the car. Doesn't work. All the lights are on, my clutch is fully depressed, not in a gear, brake on. I then try letting off the clutch and doesn't work either; depress clutch and then I get an extra click noise. Try putting in gear, nothing. The lights dim a little bit when I try to start the car. Battery is new and reads 12 volts. Has one of my wires come off or something?

Jiggle the ignition switch...could be a lazy contact.

Also try jumpering the wire on the solenoid that comes from the ignition switch to see if this is the trouble. To do this, put a wire across the solenoid from the 1/4" male spade connector to the large nut where the battery power comes to. *SAFETY: make sure the car is in neutral, parking brake set or wheels choked*

also, make sure your battery connections are clean, this will affect it more than you think

Tried jiggling the switch but that didn't really do anything. Haven't tried to jump the starter yet since it's stormy. The battery connections I just bought maybe a month ago when it did start normally. Cleaned them anyway and that didn't do much either.
My clock keep the time, resets to 1:00 every time I start, open the door, or turn on the interior lights (they don't work though).
