battery need to be at lease 14 volts to be able to start
The starter solenoid near the battery should be checked.
could be a bad battery connection or dead battery i had the same problem with my jeep Did you check the starter motor itself without the solenoid? Quite possibly worn brushes and/or dirty/worn/shorting motor armature. could be the ignition switch, is the clicking coming from under the steering column?
The symptom of a bad solenoid includes a rapid clicking sound indicating it is receiving too little power from the car battery. This lack of power may be from a low battery or corrosion of the battery cables causing the engine to not start. Corrosion is also possible in the internal solenoid connections, or a blocked plunger may lead to the solenoid being flooded with power and burning out the internal connections to damage the unit. Clicking on attempted ignition should be a warning to have the starter system checked.
Remove your starter, have the Solenoid checked out. Also check out your battery, common noise when you either A) Don't have enough battery charge or B) Starter solenoid is over-drawing amperage
One of two things can cause this clicking without a response from the starter, 1 the contacts inside the solenoid are burned or dirty and 2 the starter itself is faulty. The starter solenoid is mounted on the starter. I would assume that this is where the click is coming from there are two large terminals on this solenoid. One is the Battery power direct from the battery and the second is the output to the starter motor. The solenoid is basicaly and electromagnetic switch or relay that makes contact between that battery and the starter when you turn the key. Take a piece of heavy duty wire or a screwdriver and bridge the two bolts on the solenoid where the terminals are afixed , if the starter then turns you can be sure that the solenoid is faulty If the stater does not turn when bridging these two points then you can be sure that there is a fault in the starter motor Hope this is of help
If the starter is clicking, that's a good sign. Replace the battery and make sure you didn't have a drain on it. This problem could be caused by several things, but a weak battery or bad starter solenoid would be at the top of my list of things to check.
Did they also check the alternator as well as the charge on your battery (if it is more than a few years old, you may need a new one)??
Seized engine? Loose or corroded battery cables? Weak or dead battery? Bad starter solenoid? Bad starter? Bad clutch or neutral safety switch? Bad ignition switch?
Follow the + battery cable should connect to the starter relay (solenoid)
Seized engine? Dead battery? Loose or corroded battery cables? Bad starter? Bad starter solenoid? Bad neutral safety switch? Bad ignition switch?
Bad starter solenoid? Loose or corroded battery terminals? Weak battery? Bad neutral switch?
Needs a new starter
