Check the neutral safety switch
Check battery cables for looseness or corrosion
change the ignition starter relay found in the engine bay goggle ignition starter relay to view it.

∙ 13y agoOn most cars, if a clicking noise happens when you try to start it, generally means that the battery is weak. I has enough juice to turn on lights, but the starter motor needs much more electricity to turn the motor over.

Will a bad solenoid make no noise when you turn on ignition?
If your battery has a full charge, and NO noise is heard. It is most likely a lose or broken wire from the battery to ignition switch or from ignition switch to solenoid. A bad neutral switch may also be the problem or a blown fuse. A clicking noise would indicate bad solenoid contacts or a low battery charge. Although the a solenoid may be at fault, the other reasons are more likely. Note: On cars without automatic transmissions, check the clutch interlock switch.
Why does your car want to start as soon as battery is connected without key in ignition?
sounds like you have connected the wires wrong on starter. if that is not the problem then you have a short either in ignitin switch or in the solenoid
The car has a strong battery power but does not start is it the starter?
it's easy to check the solenoid, put a screw driver across the large nut & the smaller one, and if the starter engages it's the solenoid .make sure the vehicle is in park, or the e- brake is on. ( with key on)
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
Car starts sometimes but sometimes it just clicks usually it will start after about ten tries what could be the problem?
start with checking the battery, next check the solenoid,next check the starter motor.then check ignition switch
Why when you turn the ignition key nothing happens?
It could be a bad battery, or connection. A bad starter and or solenoid could be the problem, along with an ignition switch to name a few.

I have a 2000 s10 and i have no power going to the starter.?
check your positive on your battery. verify if no power is coming from the battery OR from the ignition. hard to answer without knowing if the problem is coming from battery or ignition. look for burnt wires going to the solenoid. hope you get a more precise answer. good luck. it could be worse!

2003 Ion click-no crank new starter and battery what's up?
Could be starter solenoid - Follow + battery cable should connect to solenoid Ignition swtich?? Wiring ok from battery? Check all the grounds to engine and chassis... peek at a manual for a diagram// See if your local library has a professional shop manual to look at for free... dave Most likely the ignition/key switch. Very common problem with ION. Jim

Starting problem ford areostar in the battery connection or fuses. Turns over but won't fire?
Load test the battery at half of its cold cranking amp capacity. If it dips under 9.6v, replace the battery. If your battery is good, replace the ignition solenoid, it should be on the firewall somewhere near the passenger side.
Why doesn't my 65 fairlane turn the motor with the switch I need to jump start from solenoid. I has new solenoid and switch.?
Did you replace the ignition switch? Not the key tumbler but the actual ignition switch. If so, you have a wiring problem.
What could the problem be if a 97 Ford Probe will not even turn over but has power in the dashboard and the headlights are working new battery starter and solenoid tested good 10V on solenoid should?
Ignition lock. Check probetalk.com forum for more info my 93 automatic does that occasionally. all i have to do is shift into neutral(auto tranny) and then it starts fine. it is just an ignition lock safety system. no problem nothin to worry about
Engine tries starting on its own when battery hooked up?
Engine "Cranks" When Battery is ConnectedAnswer 1Defective ignition switch. Answer 2 - Another OpinionAlthough answer 1 is possible, over many years I've seen this incident occur several times, and after troubleshooting the circuit, the cause was determined to be that the "starter solenoid" [a relay switch] was "stuck" in the "closed"/ON position. If the starter solenoid is the cause, then replacing the solenoid will cure the problem, and a starter solenoid is a whole lot less expensive and easier to replace than an ignition switch!!!!!One way to "test" this theory is to temporarily remove the wire from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid. This wire is small in diameter, and usually connects by a "friction" type end terminal connector over a small threaded terminal [the terminal looks like a small screw sticking out off the side of the solenoid].On some brands of vehicles, instead of the friction connector, the wire may be secured to the solenoid with a NUT on the small, threaded screw terminal.To remove a friction type connector, just grasp the connector between the thumb and forefinger, and gently twist and pull. Where a nut is used to secure the ignition switch wire to the solenoid, a small wrench will be required.After removal of the wire, touch the battery cable connector to its battery terminal.Then, IF the starter cranks, the problem is that starter solenoid is defective and needs to be replaced. However, IFthe starter does NOT crank, then that suggests one of two possibilities:The wire from the ignition switch has become "shorted" to ground somewhere between the ignition switch and the solenoid, and the short needs to be repaired, or...The ignition switch has become defective and needs to be replaced.
