    if you have a  plug  or a 17mm or 19mm  plug  on the bottom of the trans pan    u get car at operating temp.   then shifter in park pull the  plug out   if no fliud comes out the trans is low    IF YOU HAVE 2 PLUGS THE LOWEST IS THE DRAIN      THE HIGHER ONE UP IS THE ONE TO PULL OUT TO CHECK FLIUD& FILL   if low u have to pump the fliud in

    Do you know if my batterie is dead? The interior car lights turn on bright and stay bright, I can also roll down my automatic car windows and turn the radio on, but what I can't do is start the car, there is a slight woodpecker sound when I turn the ignition key on but nothing more than that. It seems its dead or something.  What do you think?

    Battery could be low. I remember my blazer the other day, the starter would click click and the battery had just been put on a charger after being 6 feet under with nothing turning on.   Try getting a battery charger where you can plug it in and hooking it up to the battery terminals.  + to + and - to -.

    The clicking could mean the battery is very low or you may need a new starter.  That clicking is the starter not wanting to turn over.  So try charging the battery or if you cant charge it with a car battery charger try jumping it with another vehicle.  If so leave the jumper cables connected to both vehicles and leave the other vehicle run for 5 minutes and then try to start it.    Its what I would do!
