mk2 golf electrical problems please help!

Hi, i have a MK2 golf 1.6 driver 1990. Its been on and off the road for 3 years now and when starting it again i don't ever have a problem. when putting it back on the road this time after 3 months, i charged the battery and went for a drive.

Once i stopped i went to start it again and i heard a small pop, as if it was coming from the fuse box. now when ever it turn the ignition the battery cuts out (or so i assume as my digital clock on the dash resets to 00:00 each time) the engine doesn't turn over what-so-ever also when i put my foot on the break or turn the head lights on, the battery also cuts out. When i turn the heater or hazards on there is a ticking coming from the fuse box. any ideas what has happened and what i need to do to fix it? thanks

I think you may need a new battery

i got it started fist time about 40 mins before. now it won't turn over just. i only get sounds from the fuse box when the hazzrds are on and when the blower is on. Headlights also won't come on.

If you are sure the battery is ok,then check the battery terminals and earh wire

i had the battery checked out by halfords and they say its fine, when i put a circuit tester on the live wire from the battery it lights up but if i turn the ignition on or lights the tester light dones'nt come on. and today i reconnected the battery and all my lights work fan etc but as soon a i try and start the car it all cuts out again? any ideas?

I think there is a fault with one of the battery terminals,or earth wire
