If you have already replaced the battery, then you have a few other things to look at.

  • It could be the starter itself
  • it could be the starter solenoid which might be integrated with the starter or mounted somewhere in the engine compartment. You can find it by tracing the thick positive wire (red - about the size of a finger) to where it goes. If it goes directly to the starter then the solenoid is integrated and more difficult to test
  • It could be the positive wire itself and is not making a good connection to the battery or starter/starter solenoid
  • It could also be the ground wire (Black - about the size of a finger). If this wire is not making a good connection from the battery to the engine block, it will keep the starter from working

I would start with the wires, making sure you have a good connection and then work your way to the starter. The clicking is usually a result of the starter not getting enough current to crank the engine.

if you put it in yourself did you disconnect the battery first? if you didnt then you may have grounded out the solenoid. either way the most likely causes are the solenoid or the battery.

Just because a relay is clicking doesn't mean it's good. Swap the relay with an identical one in the fuse box and see if it helps. Also make sure that the starter is grounded properly.
