Q: Car won't start
So today I was driving on the highway no problems what so ever. And the all of a sudden my car turns off I barely made it to the side. Turned it on after a few minutes got another mile down the road and it died again. Now when I go to turn the car in it doesn't turn the engine at all or makes a clicking noise. My battery is fine turns on all my lights and the radio. But my windshield wipers and windows won't work. When I'm trying to turn it on under the steering wheel I hear a loud buzzing noise. I have no idea what it is but could it be the reason my engine won't turn?
My car has 270000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
