Most likely. Same thing happend to my ZX7R, if I have the starter button pushed in and hit the relay with the back of a screw driver I can get the bike to start.
Have the starter tested at your auto parts store. Sounds like a bad solenoid or bad starter.
Look for loose connections at the battery, starter solenoid, starter and switch. If all connections are good, the starter solenoid probably needs to be replaced.
Check the battery cables. If there is no corrosion and you have good connections, then the starter solenoid/relay may be at fault.
If it is a v6 motor left side of trans on starter if it clicks when trying to start sometimes you can peck on starter motor to get started but will stop working again will need replaced
Weak battery or bad starter solenoid. Possibly a bad battery cable or corroded connection.
If your 1997 Ford Crown Victoria clicks when trying to start, it often indicates an issue with the battery or the starter. The clicking sound usually means the starter motor is not engaging properly, which could be due to a weak battery, corroded battery terminals, or a faulty starter solenoid. First, check the battery charge and connections; if those are good, the starter may need to be tested or replaced.
Likely low battery- the click is the starter solenoid trying to pull in, but not enough current to turn the starter motor. If it will start with a jump, either battery or charging system needs attention.
the solenoid on your starter is finished, replace the starter......
If your Polaris 250 Trail Boss is only clicking when you try to start it, the issue is likely related to the starting system. This could indicate a weak battery, poor connections, or a faulty starter solenoid. Check the battery voltage and connections for corrosion or looseness. If the battery is good, the solenoid or starter motor may need to be tested or replaced.
A single click when trying to start the engine is usually an indication of a loose battery cable/wire or a faulty starter solenoid/relay switch.
Your neutral safety switch-try putting car in neutral and trying it
It's attached to the starter.
