What if battery terminals are cleaned and key ignition still makes a clicking sound?
Battery is dead or you have a bad solenoid. Connections at the solenoid and/or starter could be loose or corroded.
Why does engine die on Ford Taurus when turning right?
i had the same problem on my Taurus 06. check the battery and it's connections, something is loose. i have changed the battery and cleaned the the terminals. every thing turned ok
Your 1998 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer 4x4 has trouble starting at different times acts as if the battery is dead The battery checks out as wellas the alternator What could the problem be?
Got to check the connections. The connections at the battery as well as at the solenoid/starter. There may also be an ignition switch problem but this would likely cause other problems as well. The connections should clean and tight and if your battery terminals are an after market type the part where the cable goes inside the terminal needs to be checked and cleaned if it can be disassembled. The starter solenoid is usually mounted on a fender close to the battery in the engine compartment and are notorious to cause failure and often times intermittent failures as well (one time it works another time it doesn't).
Can a ford ranger EGR Solenoid be cleaned?
no
What would cause a 1998 Honda Accord to start only after a few tries and sometimes not start even thought the battery is fine?
Have you removed the battery cables and cleaned the battery posts and cable connections? This is a frequent cause for the problem that you describe.
Your Nissan Titan makes a clicking noise when you try to start it?
Start with the easy things first. I had this issue and it was a loose battery terminal. The terminal had corroded to the point that the battery made poor contact. I cleaned the battery connections, but could not get the connector tight enough to make a good connection. I eventually replaced the cable (under warranty). The battery also had to be replaced as it had been drained and recharged so many times, it had lost its umpph. Another possibility is a bad starter solenoid or a bad starter. Good Luck!
Where can you have your tag heuer battery changed?

How do you diagnose starting problems on a 1997 Toyota?
First check the 12 volt battery for 12 volts. If you don't have a volt meter then turn on the lights and see if they are bright. If not check connections. Then recheck. If the battery and connections are good then you will need to check the starting solenoid if equipped. Then finally pull and check the starter. The connector can look good but have enough corrosion as to prevent starting. Pull the connectors and clean with a wire brush. If you pick up a tool a the local auto store its only a couple of bucks and cleans the inside great. Then reinstall and tighten the cleaned pieces.
Bronco won't start one click is all you get. starter is good. replaced solenoid and alternator. still the same problem. cleaned up all connections and terminals. what else could it be?
Are you sure the battery has enough juice (13.5volts)? Is the engine locked up? Try turning the motor by hand. If the engine is not seized, take the starter off and bench test it. Recheck your negative battery cable, a very good chance your problem lies there. The same thing happened to my 1995 full size bronco today. I took the battery cables off cleaned each one, and still the same problem. I replaced the starter, solenoid, finally noticed my ground wire from my intake to the fire wall was charred. So I checked my lower battery cable connections and my ground was not connected. I replaced my firewall ground and replaced my battery ground wire and all my problems were solved. Even my dash readings were fixed, I always had crazy readings on my dash (temp, oil pressure and amp gauge) all were fixed with the installation of my new ground wires.
I put in a new starter but my car still won't start what can be be draining the battery?
this just happened to us -- after installing new starter, it turned out that the battery connection was not correct -- auto parts store checked and cleaned terminals and fixed connection, all for free. this just happened to us -- after installing new starter, it turned out that the battery connection was not correct -- auto parts store checked and cleaned terminals and fixed connection, all for free.
1998 GP GT has problems starting I hear a click and the power dies. Sometimes the power comes back when i turn the key but when I turn it to start it does the same. Cleaned the leads but does no help?
You have a bad battery, alternator, or starter solenoid. Load test the battery first, then the alternator.
Whenever i give my ATV throttle it makes numerous pops what could it be?
bad plug or bad gas or timing could be off carb needs to be cleaned and or adjusted check timing last but it could also be your starter solenoid if the connections are slightly loose, on my predator had same problem constant popping, just be sure to check the solenoid first
