Hmm..Need help with an electrical problem here...

bad luck for me again..

go outside this morning to find out that the camaro doesnt even crank when i turn the key...which is wierd because it started right up yesterday with no problems at all. there is power in the car, the electric fuel pump does make a whine, so i know its on...but the thing is it only sounds like its going at half the power. same with the electrical fans when the switch is flipped. i turned the headlights on and they are on, but dimmed, same with the tails. i made the dumb mistake of opening the hatch, so the hatch is automatic and it came halfway up, and wont go back down now. my headunit doesnt go on when the ignition is turned.

basically everything that is electrical in the car is on at half, if not less, power.

really not quite sure what this could be. at first it didnt crank at all, i gave it a jump start and it didnt start. i have a new optima battery in there so i didnt think it would be that...basically when i try to start it now all i hear is *click click click*..which is the distributor i believe.

i was wondering if anybody on here has had a similar problem? if so what was the problem? if not, i know everyone here is excellent at diagnosing problems so lets hear some suggestions what it could be if you have any. thanks for all the help in advance.
