dead battery
If your 1997 Ford Crown Victoria clicks when trying to start, it often indicates an issue with the battery or the starter. The clicking sound usually means the starter motor is not engaging properly, which could be due to a weak battery, corroded battery terminals, or a faulty starter solenoid. First, check the battery charge and connections; if those are good, the starter may need to be tested or replaced.
If it is a v6 motor left side of trans on starter if it clicks when trying to start sometimes you can peck on starter motor to get started but will stop working again will need replaced
Have the starter tested at your auto parts store. Sounds like a bad solenoid or bad starter.
Look for loose connections at the battery, starter solenoid, starter and switch. If all connections are good, the starter solenoid probably needs to be replaced.
Check the battery cables. If there is no corrosion and you have good connections, then the starter solenoid/relay may be at fault.
check the battery,check the starter, see if their both good. It's the battery, if all it does is click. The clicking is the starter trying to start but not having enough electricity.
Weak battery or bad starter solenoid. Possibly a bad battery cable or corroded connection.
Likely low battery- the click is the starter solenoid trying to pull in, but not enough current to turn the starter motor. If it will start with a jump, either battery or charging system needs attention.
Most likely. Same thing happend to my ZX7R, if I have the starter button pushed in and hit the relay with the back of a screw driver I can get the bike to start.
clicking when trying to start is usually caused by flat battery check charge in battery if not battery ,you need to eplace starter mptor
Could be, the engine is seized, the starter is bad, dirty or loose battery connections, battery in vehicle being jumped is stone dead.
