Re: Im so lost

A click is often a dead battery. Could be that the alternator is not charging or could be the battery or cold be connections or could be starter. Start by having the battery checked.

Re: Im so lost

I questioned the battery myself but i find it hard to believe being that it is a month old as well as the alternator

But you don't know if they are working correctly unless some testing is done to prove it so. New does not guarantee anything. You can only rule things out by testing.

A fully charged battery will run your car for a long time even if the charging system is not working correctly. Espically if you drive during the day with no head lights. Most auto parts stores will test the system for free and will tell you what might be wrong.
