just because you lights and radio work does not mean your battery is good.the starter needs over 100 amp of power to start a car a light needs 5 amps, load test your battery and check cables and connections for corrosion. if battery is over 3 to 4 years your due for a battery, also check alternater is charging when car is running

Wont start makes clicking noise when you turn it over?

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.

My car makes a clicking sound when I try to start it but it the engine won't turn over?

The clicking sound is probably your solenoid trying to work. Your battery has just enough electricity to make the solenoid operate but not enough electricity to make the starter work. You probably have an almost dead battery.

What is wrong when the engine doesn't start and only makes a clicking sound when turning the key or trying to jump vehicle - 1991 Ford Explorer?

Most likely it's the starter, but check it out further. Most likely I think it is the battery is bad or a bad connection to the battery ,positive or neg. termenals or maybe both. But if the battery is down real low even if you try to jump it the bad battery might draw to much from the one you are jumping it from and still just make the clicking sound and not start. Matter of fact I bet it's not the starter and would bet mony on it! Please just check the battery first !


What does clicking sound when trying to start indicate?

A weak battery. There is not enough voltage to hold the starter solonoid in.
