Starter solenoid defective. if you have replaced your siloniode and you still have the same problem just trun the key on ON then take a screwdriver and touch the two terminals togather quikly and it should work great after. Starter solenoid hooked up reversed or poor ground, low battery or corroded connections @ battery It has been my experience that a faulty solenoid or relay will only click once when you try to start the vehicle. A rapid clicking noise would indicate a low battery, poor ground, or corroded connections as stated above.

∙ 15y agoThat sounds like your battery needs charging. My not have enough starting amps to fully start the car yet not completely dead. (Happened to me last night). it also is happening to me right now a mechanic told me that the battery i bought did not have enough cold crank amps and didnt have enough power to fully start my car. i replaced everything i could before calling him and had to return a brand new starter, for it wasnt the problem.

∙ 9y agoIt means your battery is almost completely dead and there isn't enough juice in it to ingage the solinoids bendix gear (in the starter)into the flywheel and turn the engine over. The clicking is the sound of the gear trying to move into the flywheel and running out of power to continue so it starts over and tries to ingage the gear again over and over that is the clicking. Jump start the vehicle and let the battery charge before turning it off. If its not charging while runnin check connections to the battery terminals,the battery itself could be bad or the alternator(just about any auto parts store can check these things right in their parking lot).
If you are driving a BMW, especially if it's an older one, check your engine to chasis grounds. This is a common problem with these cars.
