A clicking starter motor often indicates insufficient power reaching the motor, which could be due to a weak battery or poor electrical connections. The smell of rotten eggs typically suggests a sulfur odor, commonly associated with a failing battery, particularly lead-acid batteries, which can leak or vent gas when overcharged. Together, these symptoms could indicate that the battery is faulty and may need to be replaced. It's advisable to have the battery and electrical system checked to prevent further damage.

Why does your car battery click but not start?

Batteries don't "click," but other parts do. If you're hearing that "click," it's probably the starter solenoid trying to engage. Either the battery's charge is low, the starter solenoid has failed, or the starter motor itself has failed. On some older cars, especially Fords, the "click" could also be a remote starter relay.


When 1997 Saturn sl starter clicks?

The single click, that you hear when the starter switch is operated, is the solenoid making the high tension connection to the starter motor. If the starter motor doesn't turn over, you will need to check both the battery feed to the solenoid and the feed from the solenoid to the starter motor (this is typically a short length of braided cable). I have known this cable to corrode through. If it has, the easiest remedy, is to replace the entire starter motor.

Double check the battery cables at the battery and at the engine, be sure they are clean and tight.


1972 Mustang won't start after the starter solenoid has been changed it doesn't click when the ignition is turned what could be wrong with it?

Solenoid could be installed incorrectly. Could be electrical connection on the solenoid. Did you re-connect the battery? Could be a bad starter motor...or a stuck starter motor. Sometimes a light tap or two on the starter motor (not the solenoid) with a hammer will free it up.

Where is the starter motor located on a 1995 318i?

You can find the starter on the right hand side of the motor. The starter will be near the back of the motor. You can follow the positive battery cable to the starter.
