Default Help Help!! Emergency

So at 6:40 am I went to my car and turned it ON and turned on the heat.
7:00 before leaving to school I try to turn the key to the max and nothing happened. I then put it in reverse just to see if the car was already on so I can back out. No luck
I turn the car off because I panicked and I turned it on and while trying to turn it on I hear this clicking noise.
I just got new tires, and a starter 2 months ago.
Can someone please let me know what's going on
btw
I can push the gas pedal all the way down with no harm although the brake pedal is really hard to push down.

My dad told me it's probably your brakes that are locked? Idk could be and he told me there's a lever that I can pull but idk where it is. Can any of you guys help me out please?

umm your motor is not on, which is why the brakes are hard. sounds like a bad battery. the clicking is your starter trying to engage but there is not enough juice (voltage) to turn it.

do you even own an LS400?

define ON.

sounds like the car wasnt started and the heater was turned on full blast which can kill the battery quick if the engine isnt running.

lol OP you do realize that turning the blower on won't turn the Heater on, right? The car gets heat from the engine coolant, which needs to have the engine on in order to get....hot.


Get a new battery or charge this one if you can and try not to do that again

Being a "Brit" I sometimes have a bit of a problem with the language differences but know how you guys spell Tires and Color, also what mufflers, brake rotors,turn signals and fenders are. But that is the most confusing post I have ever tried to understand.

hay TONY, your rattling around with english words really makes no sense... stop, think about what you want to say and give us the circumstances. Tell us what kind and year LS you are having trouble with. and what you have done....... and we will try to help you. let us know if any dash lights are on.

Just based on reading this,, @ 6:40 you went to your car and turned the key to the on position and turned on the blower,,,heat will not work until the car gets running. @ 7,, you tried to actually START the car and nothing happened,, you pretty much just killed your battery by having the blower motor running for 20 minutes WITHOUT actually starting the car. Just need to either recharge the battery, if fairly new, or get another.
