Alright i made a post yesterday about my car, it seems to start whenever it wants, sometimes after a few minutes sometimes it takes a day or 2 of sitting in the driveway for it to start, it makes no sense to me. so anyways i was told by a few memebers here on the org that it was a starter problem, so i took the old starter off and had it tested and sure enough it was the starter, so i come home put the new one on and guess what, same damn click , could it be a blown fuse for the starter or something like that cause i am at my wits ends here, someone help

 

check your batt cables make sure clean and tight...ok...check power connection at starter (lrg wire)..clean tight..has 12+volts...ok check switch wire....clean and makes proper contact....put your volt meter on the switch wire and have someone cycle the key a few times to ensure that you have power from the switch .....if all that is good ...you may have a defective replacement starter....you would not be the first

 

Check the battery too, I had a car once with starter problems, an when the starter finally went out, I replaced it but got the same thing. I had run down the battery trying to start it, and it just needed a jump. Worth a shot. I had this random clicking happen with my car, it is aggravating. I replaced the battery, starter, all cables, contacts, etc...never could get it squared away. Good luck.

thanks for the help, i put the battery on a charger and it showed up very low, i am charging it now. hope it works.

 

if the problem persists than get your alternator checked out, your battery might not be recharging correctly
