Remove the battery terminals , clean them and the battery posts smear with a little grease and refit them , test the battery and if ok it should start.
Get a wire brush clean the inside of battery terminals there is a tool to do this most auto parts stores have this its called a terminal battery cleaner
SOURCE: Wont start unless jumped or restarted within 30 mins
When trying to turn my truck on only clicking noise under hood and in dash. Sometimes even after key is pulled out clicking noise in dash continues for a couple of seconds. Battery and alternator was check at Advanced Auto parts they say both are good
SOURCE: New Car Battery on '97 Ford Mustang - car has no juice, will not start.
Main fuse or fusible link blown? What led to the need for replacement batteryand jump any symptoms?
SOURCE: car died, repeated clicking noise when start attempt...
The clicking is the Starter Solonoid not getting enough CCAs from the battery to start it.
While running - the alternator should be able to charge the system to 14.4V.
11 volts you are experiencing tells me your alternator is faulty.
Your dash and other items were turning off/on while driving because the voltage probably dipped below 8.4v.
Your vehicle runs off the alternator power once started. The battery is only there to get the engine spinning initially.
A backyard mechanic's way to test the alternator is to start the vehicle - then remove the positive wire on the battery (coming from the alternator).
** If the vehicle stays running - the battery is problematic - probably a dead cell - have it LOAD tested at a local parts shop for free.
** If the vehicle dies shortly after removing the + battery wire - the alternator is failing - and replacement is necessary.

Sounds like a head gasket to me. if you go thru that much water in two days you should be seeing white smoke out the exhaust system.
Good luck
