Try to start car turn key in ignition and just goes click the engine not turning over or even trying to start?
there are two connections to the positive side of the battery, one to the starter, one to the accessories. some times corrosion get in between these two pieces. To correct this, i actual bought a battery with both positive connectors, (post and screw in) i hooked the starter up to one + part and the accessories to the other +. haven't had a problem since. Hope this helps

A bad starter.

If all I'm getting is a click when trying to start engine what would be the problem I have a 1996 eldorodo?
Loose battery cable (check and tighten), dead battery (recharge or buy a new one, or try a boost from a good battery), frozen or dead starter motor (have someone turn the ignition key while you smack the starter motor with a hammer), faulty starter solenoid (replace), seized engine (buy a new car), and probably a dozen other things that I cannot bring to memory at the moment. Perhaps someone else can.
