My mazda 3 won't start. The radio, lights, a/c, and such turn on, however, when i turn the ignition switch, there is a clicking sound and all the dash lights rotate spastically.

I tried to have it towed, but it is currently parked in an almost untowable area (it's a driveway that is like a 9 point turn when the car is running) with no lighting. I will have to go reverse in nuetral down a very winding canyon road. They said to try that and they could tow me from the main street in daylight.

Something similar happened a year or two ago and the dealership reset my computer. I was also thinking it may be my starter, but I couldn't get to it in the dark.

I am going to have to find a mobile mechanic or very brave driver to get my car out and running. Or I can just fix it myself (and I am good at that kind of thing, even being a girl). Has anyone had this problem, and if so, what was it?

I am going to autozone to get one of those code readers and maybe a manual.
 
All it needs is a battery

Don't try any of that stupid stuff the towing company is telling you to do. Even if it doesn't need it, they'll do whatever they can to tow your car.
