98 grand prix starter just clicks has new starter an battery starts every now an then?

If the starter clicks, but doesn't start the car, that indicates that the starter solenoid is working, but the commutator that actually spins the engine is not. Take the starter back and have it tested. The battery could also be at fault. If the battery doesn't supply enough power you'll get the same result. check the battery voltage first should be 12.6 volts if not jump the battery see if it starts.if it does bad battery.

KIA Spectra will not start just clicks and horn starts blowing?

I would check your charging system. If you turn over your key and your starter just clicks, it is usually a low battery charge or your starter is out. I would suggest jumping off your vehicle and taking it to autozone and have them do a charging test for free.

If the car does not start and the lights and horn works and there is no clicking sound when you turn the key could there be a problem with the starter?

Try removeing the battery connections, and cleaning them. Often, the symptoms you describe occur when the battery connections have corroded. use jumper cables and another vechile jumping to your battery, if it starts, then it is battery related

You have a 91 talon tsi have power to everything but when you turn the key it just clicks once?

If the power goes off to everything when you hear the click it could be a corroded battery terminal. If lights just dim a little, it could be the starter or any of a number of other problems. If the lights dim a LOT, you might need a new battery. See if it starts when you connect jumper cables from a known good battery. If you haven't used jumber cables before, read and follow directions.

If your battery is good but the starter motor just clicks instead of turning over it is bad, OR it turns over weakly or turns over and starts clicking then it is bad. If it turns over strongly and sounds OK then it is OK.
