Default 2002 GS430 No Start

Hi All. My GS430 will not turn over. Just hear a ticking noise. Battery is at 12.5 volts. Headlights go out when I try to start. Wipers move slow. Could it be a weak starter? Car has 138K miles and all original and stock under hood except for a sub woofer that was professionally installed 3 years ago. Sub has power directly from battery.

Might be a bad cell in the battery? Battery is 4 years old DieHard Gold.

Bad battery. Try to jump start the car with another battery.

Started up with a jump. I would've thought a Die Hard Gold would last more than 4 years.
