A single click usually indicates a fault in the starter relay or solenoid - could also be a loose cable or wire.

If your interior lights are dimming, either your battery or starter could be failing. You should have your car checked.


Why does your Chevy trail blazer not start after replacing the battery?

Battery cable connections may not be tight. The starter could be bad. The starter solenoid could be bad. Check to see if the lights work. If they do, leave them on and try to start the vehicle. IF the lights dim, you have a bad battery connection somewhere or a bad starter.


WHY IS MY CAR IS NOT TURNING ON COULD IT BE THE PULLEY?

Can be a dead battery, defective starter, loose or corroded battery connection, or blown main fuse. If nothing comes on when you turn on the ignition switch and your interior lights are not working it is not the starter.


Can the battery be bad if the lights are working?

Yes... there could be sufficient charge to power the lights or other minor power consuming devices but still have insufficient power to engage the starter. Best bet is to take the battery to an auto parts store and have checked.

Why won't a 1998 Cadillac Catera start after I have driven it?

Your silverado wont start it just clicks and the lights flicker the starter dose not engage or click it is as if there is no power even getting to it?

Look for a loose or corroded battery cable. The problem may also be a faulty starter solenoid/relay switch - you might want to have it checked out.
