there are 2 wires that run to the starter , a big one and a littel one , and maybe a ground bolted to one of the starter bolts , check to see if the big one has power with a volt meter , it should all the time , if it doesn't follow it and check for damaged or fusable link , next check the small one with the key in the start positon it should only have power while you are trying to start the car , if it doesn't and you have checked the start relay ( if you have lost the cover to the underhood power center you need to fine one in a junkyard you will save yourself alot of heartache in the long run ) by applying power to the relay coil and checking contunity across the contact leads and its good you need an igniton switch , you can confirm this by checking for power at the relay socket , the relay coil connectors should have power when you try to start the car , good luck,P.S. you can check almost any vehical starting system with this process

What is wrong with a car when the battery drains it only does it at night when I turn the lights on I have a new battery alternator and starter does anybody know what it could be?
Assuming you do not have the headlights on while the ignition is off: The first suspect is always the battery. Have it checked out, preferably under a load. This can be done at just about any auto parts store. Second, have the alternator checked to make sure it is putting out sufficient amperage. Most alternators are actually rebuilt, not new. Third, check your connections from the alternator and the battery. Dirty or poor connections can cause problems. Fourth, it is possible that there is a short somewhere that is drawing power. A competent mechanic familiar with auto electronics can find it.
Car won't start clicks?
I just had the very same thing happen to me yesterday. My truck had been making that noise for about 2 weeks and then yesterday I went to start my truck and it died on me. My husband put in a new battery and it started right back up! It's alive!! If it is not your battery then it could aslo be your starter, but have your battery checked first. I hope that this helped:)
What is wrong with my Renault laguna 1998 when you turn the key and everything goes dead or turn the key and the starter motor just clicks and wont start and sometimes it will?
Sounds like bad battery connections, clean and tighten them and try again. Have the battery checked if no luck ++ Loose connections ++ This just happened to my laguna. The two connections giving power to the starter motor were loose. Couple of quick turns and it fired up first time. Took an hour to get to it as it's buried deep in the engine.

Have you checked the battery for loose connections? wait is dis on a game
Why in an '89 Bronco when you turn the key to start you hear two clicks but nothing happens?
start by having the battery checked. If the battery is good, then check the starter relay. If this is bad, repalce the starter. Also check battery connections. Sometimes they can seem tight but just aren't. Take them off the battery terminals and clean them. This will also stop your batter from charging.

Check your battery connections. Also take your car to an auto parts store and have your alternator checked.

If you have already checked the connections on the battery I would suggest testing the alternator and the battery. If the battery will not take a charge or the alternator will not give a charge you could have similar problems.
Car goes click click when you try to start but turns over with a boost?
The battery does not have sufficient voltage to start the car when it's cold. Have the battery checked out. If it still goes click click after running the car for a while, have the alternator checked also. A bad battery will not hold a charge and a bad alternator will not recharge the battery, (That is the reason to have the battery checked first). Make sure the connections at the battery are clean and tight.
Can a car battery need a boost due to cold weather?
Yes. How old is the battery ? . Is it the correct battery for your car/truck Are the battery terminal connections loose or corroded ? Clean ,tighten Get the battery checked at a local garage ( load test )

Battery light usually means alternator not charging. Most common solutions would be be a bad alternator, bad connection, or loose alternator belt. If the battery and alt test ok than check the connections to the alternator and battery. The alternator should have 2 connections.
