If you hear only a single click - most likely solenoid switch Make sure connections clean and tight on solenoid "Pigtail wire" and also solenoid on top of starter (Ford had some problems with corrosion and connections loosening up over a period of time). If you hear multiple Clicks - check battery connections to make sure clean and tight One other "rap" the stater with hammer or whatever and see if vehicle starts indicating bad starter brushes

Why doesnt my car start it has been sitting for 5 years and we changed the battery and still nothing but lights come on so whats wrong with the car if it doesnt make the click sound?
most likely tha starter is bad or the power to the starter is bad
Why is it that sometimes my 2002 Trans am starts right up and other times it doesnt crank or start and the battery is good.?
you can try to short the starter motor . take a screw driver and bridge ffrom battery cable on starter to ignition wire on starter. if starter is good, engine will crank. if starter is bad , solenoid will click if no clicking, solenoid is bad
How do you know if you need a new starter?
if i turn the key and all i hear is click- click- click real fast, is that mean i need a new starter?
When i start my 93 sable it delayed like it didnt want to start then when i tried again it dont do anything but i have power for lights could it be my starter or something else?
did it actually crank over or did it kinda crank then click it sounds like maybe the battery doesn't have enough power but if your sure it does i'd guess its your starter. or the selinod
I get a single click from the starter but it will not crank what is my problem?
your battery is dead or the starter solenoid
Is it the starter or another problem if a 1990 ford bronco will not turn over even after attempting to jump start it?
Yes, most likely its the starter if the battery is fully charged and it still wont crank. When you turn the key, you should hear a click. That click is the starter engaging. No click, means the starter is no good.

Why does your car battery click but not start?
Batteries don't "click," but other parts do. If you're hearing that "click," it's probably the starter solenoid trying to engage. Either the battery's charge is low, the starter solenoid has failed, or the starter motor itself has failed. On some older cars, especially Fords, the "click" could also be a remote starter relay.
Will a starter rapidly click when it is bad?
try charging the battery before you replace the starter
Why is your starter clicking?
When does it click and does it Crank when it is clicking
When you try to start your 1997 Toyota Corolla its just clicks what is wrong?
To give a generic answer, it kinda depends on what type of click. If it is a rapid click-click-click-click... it is probably a dead (or near dead) battery. If it is just one solid "click", it is probably your starter. The single click is the sound of the selinoid clicking in to try to engage the starter. If the starter is faulty, it won't engage and turn your engine over to start.
