Car wont start battery now dead.
I've read many many MANY posts on multiple forums about my problem but have been unsuccessful in finding the solution.
2007 3.9 impala. 80k+ miles. Yesterday I was changing my oil. Everything went well I might have to tighten my filter a little more because it's leaking I believe. But I finished the oil change and drove my car up the block and back. No problems occur. I park the car give it a rinse down and get back in and reset the oil life to 100% and try to head to work. The car made this weird clicking noise when I turned on the AC. So I shut the car off and tried to start it again. It didn't crank or anything. It made this weird clicking noise when I turned the key or hit the pedal. But no start. Then I tried it a few more times, every time the battery working less and less well. Then it died completely. I unhooked the battery thinking it might be an ecm problem. I reset the computer and had some juice left. I tried again and nothing new. And then it died again. So I try to get a jump and it gave the battery juice for all the lights to work again but it still wouldn't do anything but click. Now I have heard it could be the starter, but why did it start up regularly 2 seconds before? And it could be the battery but the battery also worked fine until after I reset the oil life. Does anyone know what's going on? Any suggestions?

you'll have to test the battery and circuits to the starter to be sure. I would assume the battery is fine if nothing changed with a jump but it still should be tested. By the sounds of it your starter is probably the issue but you need to verify that it has 12v to it.
