check starter connection,if 12 volts there probably bad starter
If your car makes a clicking sound when you try to start it, try to jump the battery. If that starts it, check the electrical system and if it was the battery, replace the battery. If jumping it does not fix it, have a mechanic look at it.
if clicking but not starting dead battery if it starts it's one of the many relays that open and close during startup
sounds like a flat battery get a battery charger or jumpstart it with jump leads
Yes, the clicking is the starter, but there's probably nothing wrong with it. Your battery doesn't have enough juice to turn the starter motor (draws lots of current), but still has enough to turn on the lights and accessories. Try jump starting it or trickle charge the battery.
A weak battery. There is not enough voltage to hold the starter solonoid in.
check your wiring to selinoid and relay and battery posts also make sure plugs and or wires are good and check the battery
Depends on the year, but basicaly, there will be a large wire/cable comming off the starter, follow that as it goes DIRECTLY to the selinoid... on the selinoid, you will see another large wire/cable..that goes directly to the POS on the battery..so...you can also follow the large cable comming off the POS battery post, and find the selinoid...
Charge or replace the battery.
If there is clicking, that means the car has power from the battery so the altenator and the battery are good. I would suggest that the starter is gone bad. It will eventually grind away to where there is no clicking.
new battery
dead battery or bad starter (with the clicking, I'm 95% sure its the battery)
That is not a question.
Are you positive the battery is dead? Have you tried to jump start it? That clicking could be the starter relay.
If just clicking and not starting, most likely a dead battery.
Dead battery or dirty/loose battery connection.
Does the engine turn over and then make the clicking noise while trying to start, or does it not do anything but make the clicking noise when you turn the key. If its not turning over at all then it might be a battery problem, Try cleaning the battery terminals, and/or charge the battery, Could also be the starter solenoid, but start with the battery first.
In my case I have a 1999 SL1 and the clicking sounds where the relays for the electric door locks. I removed them and I have not have the battery drained. I have not replaced them yet.
