Battery, starter, starter relay solonoid, or a charging problem i.e. alternator or voltage regulator causing battery to discharge. Or bad battery cable connection or dirty or loose battery cable connections can cause this problem. Need to investigate & narrow it down.
Does the engine turn over and then make the clicking noise while trying to start, or does it not do anything but make the clicking noise when you turn the key. If its not turning over at all then it might be a battery problem, Try cleaning the battery terminals, and/or charge the battery, Could also be the starter solenoid, but start with the battery first.
When the battery does not have enough voltage to turn the starter over it will sometimes make a clicking noise.
your engine wont turn over but it makes a clicking noise or if you turn the key to the notch before the one that turn on your car then turn on your radio and if it doesn't turn on you have a dead battery.
The engine is cooling down. (or at least that's one reason for it)
Engine won't turn over, no clicking noise: clutch sensor switch located near cluth pedal is malfunctioning. Engine won't turn over, clicking noise: weak battery, loose connection to battery or ground. Engine turns over, doesn't start: 1) weak battery 2) clogged fuel lines / fuel filter 3) dirty spark plugs 4) weak wiring / connections
The clicking noise you can hear is the starter solenoid clicking into place. If the starter motor does not turn the engine immediately, it is probably the best place to look. it sounds like the starter motor is faulty.
if it does not turn over and no clicking noise but headlights on, check start fuse and relay if it doesnt turn over and clicks probable starter solenoid
that means there is a short in the starter solenoid. pull starter out and have it overhauled
that's called a turn signal
When a started malefactions on a 1998 VW Passat the solenoid will make a clicking noise but the engine will not turn-over. To replace the unit remove the two bolts mounting the part onto the transmission.
Yes. In some cars it does.
my first thought would be to check the starter . if you can tap on the starter and it starts after that..you have a bad starter .
