with today cars there are several relays which are used to send electricity to certain parts of your electrical system, such as a fuel pump relay, or a starter relay. one thing i tell people to do is have some one try to start your car with the lights on if the lights go off while trying to start the battery is dead . if the lights stay lit with very little dimness then you have a starter problem.
Could be loose or dirty battery terminals, bad cable, starter solenoid. load test battery just because it has 12 volts does not mean there is enough amps to turn over check corroded terminals especially side terminals pull them off and pull bolt out and check both sides for corrosion

If you have to jump start your battery every time you cut your car off what is wrong with it?
Dead battery, Alternator not charging, Ignition off draw draining battery,.............
Can a voltage regulator cause a car to not start?
no, the voltage regulater is for charging not the ignition system, it can however drain the battery
What is the cause of intermittent clicking noises when you turn the ignition switch?
if clicking but not starting dead battery if it starts it's one of the many relays that open and close during startup
Key making clicking noise and wont start?
Bad battery or bad battery connection. The click is the starter trying to engage, but lacking the power to turn the motor.
What is wrong when there is no clicking sound and absolutely no crank when you turn the ignition key to start the car - tried to jump the battery.... still nothing?
try checking your fuses and fuse-able links
Can a ignition switch short have an effect on the alternator charging the battery?
any short in the electrical system will have an effect on the charging system
Can leaving a key in the ignition overnight cause the battery to drain?
Yes, IF the ignition SWITCH was left ON. I suggest charging the battery, and then have it tested at Autozone both of which are free.

What is wrong with a 1991 Dodge stealth with SOHC that will not turn over replaced stater ignition switch ignition relay Still won't turn over nothing but clicking?
Did you try checking or replacing the battery? Usually clicking when trying to start means dirty battery terminals or a dead battery. That's the first thing to check, before ignition switches, ignition relays, and starters; auto parts stores will check it for free. If it's dirty or corroded terminals, clean them up and try starting again. If it's dead and old, just replace it. It it's a new battery and it's dead, check your charging system (alternator, fuses, belts, etc).

Check battery, charge it or change it. Dead battery.
Please explain the charging circuit in automobile. 1. How does the charging light comes on when ignition switch is turned on 2. How charging light comes on when alternator is not or less charging?
When the ignition is turned on, battery voltage passes down the wire to the alternator to 'excite' the alternator when the engine starts. When the engine starts and the alternator generates a voltage, the light is extinguised by the charging voltage cancelling out the battery voltage coming down the wire. If and when the alternator completetly fails the the light will come back on as there is no sancelling voltage. if the alternator produces a voltage lower than the voltage from the ignition switch then the battery light will glow.
Can a voltage regulator cause a car to not start?
no, the voltage regulater is for charging not the ignition system, it can however drain the battery
If the ignition is off and the Battery shows 11.5 volts when the engine is running shows 13.6 Volts?
It shows that your battery is in workable condition and your alternator is charging as it should.
