a few electrical self-help tests you can run to isolate the starting problem are: turn on the headlight & then try to start the car. if the hedlights dim then you are getting a good strong connection to the starter. If the clicking sound occurs then its a weak battery. If no headlight dimming, then check all the connectors from the battery to the starter.
this happens to me all the time... this works everytime: -turn the key forward 1 click but dont try to turn it on -put the parking break on -put the car in the gear labeled "1" -put the car back into park -take the parking break off -start the car
never fails-maybe its just my car but i found that out when the 2nd day i bought it it didnt start...and i just messed around with it like that until i figured out how to fix the problem.
I had the same problem on my 1995 Altima. The starter was the problem. Had to be replaced.
battery is charged ,but still have to jump start it

Loose or corroded battery connections or your starter is going bad.
autozone.com click repair on the right, and follow the directions. Then click engine electrical, then ignition system.
Look for a loose or corroded positive battery cable at the battery post - or a loose/corroded battery terminal on the positive cable.
That's usually a low battery or a dirty battery terminal. Check the terminal first, see if it's corroded or loose. Next, understand that the battery is simply an electrical storage device. The battery can be bad or the alternator can fail and the battery will not have enough stored electrical energy. Before just replacing a battery, always check the charging system to make sure it's working properly before assuming that a battery has failed.
You most likely have a dead battery, or if the battery is fully charged maybe the electrical portion of the ignition switch could be faulty.
Someone tells me this could be to do with the starter motor
The battery is in the cabin with the red flag, click on the alarm clock and on the bottom right of it, it should have a picture of a battery, click that and it will flip the clock around. Then you click the slot where the battery is and take it. (:
You click on the remote of the TV and the battery will appear in your screen then you click your backpack click use battery near the remote car .
My understanding is that you are hearing the starter "click" but it does not engage. If that is correct your answer is: Typically either 1. the battery isn't fully charged (either a problem with the charging system, something is running the battery down or the alternator isn't charging properly) 2. a poor electrical connection somewhere between the starter and the battery or 3. a problem with the starter or solenoid.
The battery does not have sufficient voltage to start the car when it's cold. Have the battery checked out. If it still goes click click after running the car for a while, have the alternator checked also. A bad battery will not hold a charge and a bad alternator will not recharge the battery, (That is the reason to have the battery checked first). Make sure the connections at the battery are clean and tight.
