These are the most common causes (not all inclusive of course): Bad battery, battery cable(s), starter, starter solenoid, ignition switch, clutch switch, neutral switch, fuse(s), bad ground, battery terminal corrision. Start with cheapest move to the most expensive. No seriously, proper diagnosis will save you the most money and time. Get it to a certified mechanic, better yet an ASE certified MASTER mechanic will hit right the first time.

The clicking noise you can hear is the starter solenoid clicking into place. If the starter motor does not turn the engine immediately, it is probably the best place to look. it sounds like the starter motor is faulty.


How do know if starter is bad?

You usually can suspect that the starter is bad if you turn the ignition key and nothing happens. You hear a clicking sound but the engine does not turn over. The dash lights should come on.
