When i try to start the car i hear a loud click from the starter. I replaced the starter and it still does it. I tried to tap it with a hammer while starting it to see if it might be stuck or something; still doesnt work. Checked the wires and there is good current between both ends. Removed and inspected the starter relay; its good. Any other ideas out there on this conundrum? Much appreciated.

Will it work from a jump start? If so - trash an old battery - they are old in my opinion at three years old! Good luck, bmtflint New User Aug 29, 2005, 3:37 PM Post #3 of 3 (1925 views) Re: engine clicks but doest start Sign In Yeah, the battery is only a year old. I figured out was wrong. The wires were corroded right behind the clamp, and would show a 12 volt current but when I tried to turn it over, the voltage would drop, so i stripped back the wire, cut off the corrodness, reattached the clamp and works perfeclty. Stumped me for the longest time. All i needed was a good six pack to think it through.   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
