Hi Board! I left my switch on in the car charging my phone, but made a mistake and left it on. Battery went down but not completely out. Dashboard lights were still working and I couldn't get it to start, however I kept hearing this clicking noise, even when I didn't try to start it. I decided to let it rest and come back about 30 minutes later and found that the lights were brighter, and it noticed the intelligent key, however when I hit the start button, it didn't start and I only heard the clicking noise again... I decided to let it rest longer, lights fully functional now, but still didn't start. Any suggestions??

Welcome aboard!

Pretty simply, your battery is toast. Should be able to recharge it (or jump-start). If you jump it, drive normally for a while and alternator should bring it back to correct voltage.

The clicking, if I recall, is the IPDM relays... not important. You should be good to go after recharging the battery! :)

You might need to clean and tighten your battery cables
