put a multimeter on the starter terminals set to check for voltage. Have someone else turn the key while you hold the meter. Check all your terminals this way, it will tell you where you do and don't have 12 volts. If you can't get it at any of the starter wires chase them back to the next connection point and try again there. eventually you will find where the juice stops at. on the other side of the part if you have 12 volts then your problem will be in that part. Beware this process may take some time. but for the $15 at Walmart for the meter and the time. it will save you a couple hundred verses taking it to a shop. And just because you replaced the part already don't mean it was a good part that you put in! I've been through 5 starters from the store on one vehicle before I got a good one!

Why is my 2004 Mercury Monterey make a clicking noise and won't start?
I would suspect the battery has been discharged, is defective, or you have loose or corroded battery terminals. Remove and clean the terminals and if that does not solve the problem charge the battery with a battery charger. If it will not take a charge then replace the battery.

This could be a problem with your cam sensor, or crank sensor.
Why does the starting solenoid just click on a 1986 Ford Bronco V6 when you turn the key and it doesn't turn over the starter I have replaced the starter the starter relay and have a new battery.?
I would start by jumping the terminals on the starter solenoind,just use a wrench and touch it between the two large terminals on the solenoid. If the starter takes off and works I would guess that your problem may be in the ignition switch located on the steering column. Sometimes even though the battery terminals look clean and the interior lights still light up, they can need cleaning. It is also possible that the wire into the terminal is not getting a good connection. This seems elementary, but it is the an easy solution and in my experience, this is most often the problem.
1998 Bonneville wont start just clicks?
you need a new battery. if battery has been replaced and this still does not solve the problem, you must have had the bad battery for too long and it ruined the If the new battery doesn't solve the problem you can have check the battery cables, make sure they have a clean tight connection. Also the problem could be with your starter also.
1985 Nissan 200sx battery was replaced and now the car won't engage to start?
First, why was the battery replaced? If there was a pre-existing problem (like a bad starter, for example), replacing the battery will not solve the problem. If, however, the car started fine before battery replacement, then the problem could be that the battery terminals (clamps) were not sufficiently tightened. Don't laugh, but there have been instances where the plastic cap(s) covering the new battery's positive and negative terminals were not removed (duh!). Remove those plastic caps.

The Alternator might be bad. Make sure the battery terminals are clean, and the wires are good. If you still have a problem check the fuses.
What might be the problem with a 1988 Civic Hatchback that is causing the battery to discharge Have already replaced alternator igniter coil main relay and the battery?
You have a short - it's hard to be more exact than that, but if you disconnect the battery and charge it outside of the car and it stays charged, you have a short. If it does not stay charged, you need a new battery.
