most likely cause is bad starter, one easy way is usaully when you beat on the starter while somone is trying to key it will start, had to do this many times to save people money on tow bills. Usually a bad connection on your battery post terminals or the starter. Clean the battery post terminals and try starting if that doesnt work try tightening the nuts on the wires connecting to the starter motor. This should help unless your battery is dead. It could also be that the ground on the negative side of the battery has come off. This just happened to my '93. I had to bend the ground connector some, so that it would fit onto the terminal, and tighten the nuts on the battery, but be careful as the battery sparked at my when I did this.
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
crawl under truck and tap the starter with a hammer crawl under truck and tap the starter with a hammer
Your starter is bad and needs to be replaced. If you need it to start it, you might be able to by tapping it with a hammer very slightly. This will unstuck it just enough for it to start the vehicle, but it definitely needs replacement.
if the motor is spinng over then starter is ok
starter, starter relay, battery, high resistance in batter/starter cabels just a few things that will cause this.
yes, car will not start
The starter is bad or the engine is locked up. Make sure the starter getting power then turn the engine by hand.
This sounds like your starter solenoid is bad.
your battery is flat Could be that your starter is dead. The clicking is the starter solenoid. That's a good thing that it is at least clicking. Replace the starter.
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.
yes!! by the starter and put it in!
