I havent drove the car in a week, I tried to jump the car and then tired to crank but just keep hearing 3 clicks. I noticed on my tach gauge the rpm went up to 10 thousand then stopped made like 3 clicking sounds but nothing happened. Is it the battery, starter soenoid?
I have no way of knowing if theres any codes cause my cluster doesnt work at all. Ive got an electrical nightmare. What u think
Im mechanicaly inclined any help appreciated

 

Can you tell where the clicking is coming from? Could be an issue with the main relay.

 

no not main realy coming from engine bay

 

You mentioned you tried to jump the car, battery charged decently? Have another to try out?

 

no should i jump it then wait for a while to charge it. The battery is prbly dead or somethn so if i just leave the other car on while i jump it would it charge it or?

 

the other day i jumped it then tried to crank and just kept givn me clicks

 

change your starter i just had this problem. for the mean time get someone or yourself to tap hard on the starter. while you or somebody tries to start it it should start right yup

 

Could be a battery issue for sure. That's where I'd start.

 

Replace the battery. If the battery is completly dead, even jumping it won't help, becaues it doesn't have enough amperage. Replace the battery and you'll be good

 

im trying to tell you its the starter 99%

 

My bet is on the battery!

 

yea ive noticed that I just reset the ecu and tried to start and my tach is set on 8 and it climed to 10krpm and just stopped and my my car alarm beeped. I dunno what thats about

 

That is enough there, the battery is done, your alarm is beeping/ going off because there isn't enough voltage to keep is on... I would take your battery to Adv Auto/ Autozone/Whatever place you have where you are are, and have them test it.

 

is there no way to charge the battery or somethn the only thing I can do get a new battery?

 

Go get it tested. But if it's that dead, they usually do not come back. I installed Car Stereo for 5 years and have seen this happen many times. You can get it tested see if it passes and if it does put it on a trickle charger.

 

Once it gets tested you can do further troubleshooting. The clicking noise is the starter motor trying to turn the flywheel. But not having enough voltage or current is making it click because it's not able to turn that mass

 

o alright thx man preciate it

 

if you keep trying to start it with out the battery being charger you'll burn the starter up..its free to get the batt tested at like advanced auto or autozone...the if thats the prob just replace the batt instead of ruining the starter too...

 

It honestly sounds like a starter problem but vwtohonda sounds like he knows what he is talking about and testing a battery isnt that bad so just test the battery.

 

poor guys going to buy a new battery and its going to be the starter...

 

Yea, like I said. I'm not saying 100% battery, but it needs to be tested Good before further troubleshooting occurs. Can't jump steps. If you don't know one, you can't figure out the other. If i'm right, +rep would be nice haha, good luck!

 

thats why u get it tested first...

 

I didn't say buy a battery. Told him to get it tested. It's free to test them. Worse case, just get one from walmart if you don't think it's the problem and return it.

 

true true sorry i spoke without thinking
