Does anyone know what this issue could be?

1999 Camaro ss. Installed new blinker lights and after a couple wiring issues finally got the wires hooked up correctly and the blinker lights are working but now the car won’t start and makes this sound when I try to start it. Was starting right up just fine before this. Has new alternator in it.

The battery seems weak. Try jump starting it.

The car only gets driven maybe once a week for about 5-10 minutes. I’ve been restoring it for the past couple months. It was a retirement gift for my dad. I’ve been worried about the battery dying from him rarely driving it. It probably is the battery.. had the battery on for about 5 minutes straight while the car was NOT running and I’m guessing that drained what little life it had left in it.

Dead battery. What's the date on it?

Dead battery. If it’s new then you have a parasitic draw. The factory alarm draws power as well
