there is a security chip under the colum maybe it fell out happened to me once
In a 1999 Lincoln Continental : The car battery is located in the engine compartment , on the drivers side of the engine compartment
Battery is dead or you have a bad solenoid. Connections at the solenoid and/or starter could be loose or corroded.
clicking noise when u turn the key to start is either a bad battery or bad battery connection or the starter needs replacing rule out the solenoid, as the clicking you can hear comes from the solenoid
If your car makes a clicking sound when you try to start it, try to jump the battery. If that starts it, check the electrical system and if it was the battery, replace the battery. If jumping it does not fix it, have a mechanic look at it.
either clean and tighten cable connections or get battery tested. if not the battery, it is the solenoid or the starter If it is clicking and not starting at first, but starts after a few tries, its your starter taking a dump. Replace it.
check your battery then the connections if it still wont start try changing the starter solenoid if possible
Loose or corroded wiring or a bad starter. Follow the short positive cable from the battery to the starter solenoid; This is a weak link ;replace the solenoid and check and clean your remaining connections. If this just happened, I believe this will get you going. Mark
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.
Check the starter solenoid, starter ground resistance, and voltage out of thesolenoid when activated. If the solenoid is not clicking then the issue is either the relay or the fuse to the solenoid.
Weak battery? Loose or corroded battery cables? Starter solenoid?
Then your battery is still not charged. The clicking sound is the solenoid that has a little gear on it that engages with the ring gear of the engine to spin it. There is a certain amount of voltage needed to push that solenoid into the ring gear and your battery isn't putting out enough. You'll need a jump to get started and then need to consider the battery.
Could be low battery voltage, a poor connection(s) of wires, a bad starter, or a faulty solenoid.
