01 yukon no start

[Yukon82291]

I have a 01 Yukon 5.3 that has been sitting in my yard for the past 3 weeks (blown tranny) been going out to start it up every other day or so and started up just fine every time, today i went to do so, not so much. All the lights come on like everything is fine, i hear the fuel pump kick on, turn the key to crank and all i hear is a click in the electrical box, start dosent turn over. Any idea?

Starter dosent turn over**

Try clicking the key a couple times in a row or tapping the starter with a hammer a couple times. If it is the starter it should turn over after trying this. If not it is probably your battery, do all the lights shut off when you turn the key to start and then turn back on when you release?

yes all the dash lights go out and when i stop trying to crank they come back on

I'd start off by charging the battery.

I am almost certain its the battery then.
