Best Answer

Either the battery is bad or the connections at the battery or starter are corroded or loose. Was the starer bad to begin with?, Can the engine be turned over by hand? Did you buy a cheeseball starter motor like ones autozone sells?

If there is a starter click but your car want start what could be wrong?

One of a few things depending on the click. If it makes consecutive clicks when you turn the key (click,click,click,click) then the odds are the battery is dead or in need of charging and there just isn't enough charge to fully engage the starter and turn over the engine. If it clicks just once, the selenoid is usually bad, or the starter is "locked" and will need to be replaced.

How do you know if starter needs to be replaced on a 1989 caprice?

If you know the battery and all connections are good, and hear a click when trying to start the car, then remove the starter and have it tested at any auto parts store.
