OK so when i turn my car to the on position with the key there is a very fast rapid clicking noise. everythign turns on like normal but then when i turn the key to the start position it just turns over but never starts. I know the clicking has something to do with it since i have never heard it before but i don't know what it is can someone please help thanks jamescb77

 

your battery doesn't have enough juice to start your car... either get a jump or go buy a new one

 

Yep. I had that happen in my teg before...

 

the battery is one month old should have plenty of juice wouldn't you think

 

door light on all night, truck light on all night... just something stupid and small like this... just give it a try. if it doesn't work then check your solinoid

 

so if it's just the battery i should be able to puch start it right ill try that then see whats up

 

yeah also some batteries can be bad when you get them..could be bad in the first week. I would know since i work at a autoparts store and see it happen every once inawhile. If you have warranty on battery then you can usually exchange it.

 

check your battery voltage while the car is running.. if its below 14 then your battery isn't getting charged and you need to replace your alternator.

 

so the car will not start the main relay just sits there and clicks like crazy i pulled it but i have no idea where to get another one from as auto parts stores don't carry them

 

ok i found another main relay at a junk yard put it in and it's the same thing im pretty sure it's not the battery and im guessin that it'n not the relay anymore what would cause it to sit there and just click like this someones got to know

 

starter could be bad....

 

your problem is a bad ground, before you buy any thing else check all grounds and ground cables

 

im not saying your wrong but why do you say that it is the ground what tip you to say that i will check it when i get a chance just wondering why you say that is the problem

 

i have seen it and had it happen to me several times before, i have also burnt a main relay once trying to figure out this problem when it has just a ground problem

 

push start it drive it around and your alternator will do the rest. if your car isnt turning over, and its clicking really fast locate your starter. there is a wire thats pretty thick and it has a boot over a it try pushing it i, its probably not in all the way. thats what happned to mine.

 

its not battery or starter problem. its definitely either a main relay or ground problem. im thinking its a main relay but could be either. whats engine light do when you turn key to on? should come on for 2 seconds than go out.
