Hi yall, I have a 2005 malibu that has been sitting for approximately 3 months. I tried to start it today and the battery was so dead I couldn't even get a light to come on. So I replaced the battery and all the lights come on and everything, but when I try to start it there is a loud click like a relay kicking on and all the power gets dumped. After that it takes about 1 minute before I can get any lights to come on. Help?!

Sounds like it could be the starter, but that's only cuz same indications i had with a 99 crown vic i had. I could be way off though.
