Help

So I'm sitting in my car and I go to start it and it clicks once. All electrical functions work but the engine won't start. It doesn't even sounds like it is trying to turn over. Just one click. When you open those little covers on the battery the fluid is almost gone. So I'm thinking that is te reason why it won't start I'm thinking that is the problem. Please help !

Do the lights dim down a lot when you try to start it?

I started to take the battery out and it turned out that the starter cable was coroded from the inside so it fell right off. Now I need a new starter cable and battery because the battery was shot as well.

Yeah I just ordered the OEM start cable and and gonna put it on when I get it. Sucks to have to wait though. And I actually have an 05 WRX Wagon. I messed up on signing up hahah. Do you have to take the intercooler off to get to the starter ? Because it looked to be that way. If so, is there anything I should be careful about when removing and reinstalling the IC ?
