your starter is hanging up try to tap it with a hammer and if it starts great if not replace it
usually you can tell when your car doesnt turn or or doesnt turn over its because of your starter sometimes its not the starter it could be a low battery or corroded wires leading to the starter check that first;
Most often it is the starter and not the ignition.
Seized engine? Loose or cooroded battery terminal Bad starter solenoid? Bad neutral or clutch safety switch?
Answer: Check your starter
the battery or the starter could be bad. the vats system could be activated. let me know.
probably a bad starter. If it was a clutch safety problem it would not allow you to try and start your car. If your battery is good (and just because it reads 12.24 volts doesnt mean its good, it has to have the right output of amps also) then check your battery terminals and power and ground cables for good connections. If those are good then Id figure that loud clicking was your starter solenoid trying to engage the starter. If you have an external starter solenoid then you can try changing it out. If it is built into the starter then you need to look into a new starter. If you take your starter off you can take it down to a local auto parts store and get it tested before you go buy a brand new one. you can also get your battery tested at most auto parts stores.
you can try to short the starter motor . take a screw driver and bridge ffrom battery cable on starter to ignition wire on starter. if starter is good, engine will crank. if starter is bad , solenoid will click if no clicking, solenoid is bad
Ignition switch going bad, corroded or loose battery cables, starter relay or starter going bad.
no if the car doesnt start check the battery and the alternator and the starter.
most likely tha starter is bad or the power to the starter is bad
You may have a fuel problem, check the fuel filter and fuel pump.
If your battery is old, it could be the cause of the problem. The starter takes a lot of current to crank an engine. The fact that lights are working doesnt' give much info as to the state of the battery. Try blowing the horn, which takes more current, and see if that works OK. If it is weak, it is probably a battery problem. Try to jumper your battery from another car and see if that helps. If that doesn't help, it is likely a starter problem.
