Ok, this is the weirdest thing I have run into, I go to turn my car and I hear this really quick repeating clicking from INSIDE the car, like it's come from under the dash. I checked all the engine and ecu grounds, aswell as the battery. The battery will start other car just not mine, jumping it doesn't work either. Hmmmmm, Oh and when I reconnected the battery ground wire it will let all the lights in the car come on but as soon as I go to turn it just goes out now, no click, no nothing, and if I try to restart it the car puts out no light no nothing. Now I disconnect the battery again and put it back on then the lights all come on again till I go to turn it over.....I am confused now Help me out ya'll

run a wire from the positive battery terminal to the starter solenoid(the little clip on the starter)and try to start it then, If it starts, then it's something else. If it doens't start, then it's your starter.

Otherwise, it's your igniter, and that, you don't want.

 

I did do that last night, and it did start turning, it was the classic dumbass thing, the ground wire off the battery terminal wasn't grounded to the engine. connected that and all is good. I feel like a dumb ***
