it could be the starter or it could just be a bad battery, try to jump start the vehicle with another vehicle with jumper cables or a jumpbox, if the vehicle starts, most likely it is the battery. It is still a good idea to get the starter checked out.

Where is the starter located on a 1996 Chevy Astro Van RWD?

Your 1998 ford escort zx2 won't start it just clicks?
your battery is flat Could be that your starter is dead. The clicking is the starter solenoid. That's a good thing that it is at least clicking. Replace the starter.
Why does your starter just make a clicking noise?
If it is a single click, the problem is either a loose battery cable or a faulty starter relay/solenoid. If the symptom is rapid clicking, the battery is probaly low.
I crossed the starter solenoid and it just clickswhat is the problem?
that test indicates that you need to replace the starter motor.if no clicking in this test , you would replace solenoid first. but clicking indicates solenoid works,so replace starter motor
What is wrong with a car when it won't start it just makes clicking sound and the radio is working?
It is likely to be the starter is not working.
1999 Saturn wont start just a clicking noise and battires are fine?
Either your starter or ignition..
1992 Toyota Celica wont start just clicks why?
Clicking can mean a loose connection between battery and starter. Follow wire to starter and clean/tighten connector at starter.
I have a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT with a starter problem. I do believe that it's not my starter that is bad it's the starter clyenoid. It will start up halfway then die. I have power to all else...?
What do you mean it will start up half way? If the car will start then it can't possibly be a problem with your solenoid. If the solenoid is bad then the car would not start at all. If you hear just a clicking noise then that means your solenoid is fine but that the starter itself is malfunctioning or that there is not ample power to turn the starter over once the solenoid has engaged. One other problem could be high resistance in the wire that connects direct battery power over to the starter.
What does it mean when your car is making a clicking sound but will not start?
it is most likely the starter, the starter will range from $100-200 at autozone, or oriely, i just replaced the starter in my 99 sunfire for the same reason.
I just Changed the starter and it just clicks when you try start it What is the matter?
The alternator might be the problem.
A charger on it but you get the same clicking?
i assume on this that you are trying to start car, and just getting clicking sounds even when boosting with a battery charger. if this is correct, then you need to replace starter motor
My 94 Chevrolet S10 will not start it makes a clicking sound when the key is turned from inside the cockpit. Is there a relay or fuse that could be the problem and not the starter or solenoid?
If the starter is clicking when you turn the key then the relay is not the problem, more likely is the battery and starter wire connections. Take them off and clean them before putting them back on ( have the battery checked ) corrosion will cause the symptom you described, however there should be a starter relay in the engine compartment fuse panel. If the truck is a standard transmission, it could be the Neutral safety switch, which is located under the clutch pedal. However, most likely it is the solenoid on the starter, I just had the same problem, time for a new starter.
