About a month ago i left the lights on and the battery died, so i had to jump start it. Then about 2 weeks ago i tried to turn it on and it wouldn't turn on, so i checked the battery, moved the cables to make sure they weren't loose, and i cleaned it a little bit and it started. then yesterday it wouldn't start, so again i checked the battery but nothing. the head lights and the lights inside turn on, but when i try to turn on the car it cranks and sounds likes it's about to start but it doesn't.
so i'm wondering if the problem is that the battery is dead or is it the starter?
 
remove and clean battery cables jump start or charge battery check your belt drive to any shop or parts store ask them to check charging system most places free to check then you know why or what
 
Clean the battery terminals thoroughly with some sandpaper or a wire brush.

But leaving your headlights on is hell on car batteries. Maybe now your battery is fucked.
