there are two connections to the positive side of the battery, one to the starter, one to the accessories. some times corrosion get in between these two pieces. To correct this, i actual bought a battery with both positive connectors, (post and screw in) i hooked the starter up to one + part and the accessories to the other +. haven't had a problem since. Hope this helps

If all you get is a single click when you try to start the engine, check the starter solenoid/relay. If you get a series of rapid clicks, look for a loose battery/starter cable. If you get a single click and everything goes completely off, check for a loose battery cable (more likely the positive). You need to check all earth connections battery to chassis & chassis to engine/gearbox a quick and simple way to check is to attach a jump lead from the negative battery terminal to a good clean spot on the engine best wishes good luck

Why does your Honda CRV go click click click after you turn the ignition off?

From the information given, it is impossible to make a guess. Is it an 'electrical' click or a 'mechanical' click? Where is the "click"noise coming from? The engine compartment? the dashboard area? The ignition switch? the tapep player/radio? More info is needed.


If an S10 truck will not start is there a relay or circuit breaker that could be the problem?

Well somethings i need to know? Is the truck engine turning over and just not starting? If the truck is turning over i would first off guess either gas or elelctrical problems. If the starter is not turning the engine over, then i would point at the starter relay (you should hear that click when you turn the key). Also if you find that the relay is fine and it is just not clicking then i would look at the ignition switch on the steerin column. . ) Also, it may be the ignition control module. If the engine turns, but no spark, this could be the ptoblem also. Good Luck!

1997 Ford Escort The engine was idling when the engine shut down. On trying to restart it only makes a one click sound.what could be locked?

Your engine could be locked up. You can tell by putting a ratchet and socket on the crank pulley and turning the engine by hand. If you can't turn it by hand the engine is siezed up. An easier way is to turn on the headlamps so you can see their brightness like the wall of your garage. You hit the starter and if the lights go real dim then either the engine is seized up or your starter is seized up.


Why would a truck engine just click but not start?

It means it's not turning over due to lack of power to the engine so you might have a dead battery Try and jump it.. if that doesn't work then try and replace the battery and/or take it in and get a diagnostics done to see what other reasons their could be for it not turning over.


When trying to start only hear a click?

It could be, a dead battery, dirty or loose battery connections, a bad starter, the engine is seized.
