Why is your 1993 Altima Nissan making a clicking noise but does not start?
Sounds like a starter or battery problem, possibly wiring problem
If the 1996 Olds Aurora will not start and there is a clicking noise from under the front panel, check the starter. The clicking noise is probably from the starter solenoid.
Turn on the signal and listen for the clicking noise. If it is still clicking occasionally then you can follow the noise and feel where it is located. If it has totally stopped then look on top of the steering column behind the steering wheel.
A loud fast clicking noise is usually indicative of a low battery or a loose cable.
stater or silanoid
Maybe flat battery?
h/lamp & tns relay clicking when car is off & car will not start
Does the engine turn over and then make the clicking noise while trying to start, or does it not do anything but make the clicking noise when you turn the key. If its not turning over at all then it might be a battery problem, Try cleaning the battery terminals, and/or charge the battery, Could also be the starter solenoid, but start with the battery first.
If clicking while trying to start then might be a bad starter. If clicking while running, then might be valve/lifter noise.
Low battery voltage .?
