A clicking sound when trying to start a car is almost always a low battery. The solinoid which engages with the ring gear isn't getting enough voltage to move it's gear. This causes a fairly rapid and regular clicking sound something like 6 or so per second. Attach a battery charger for 15 minutes or so or get someone to give you a jump. Then consider what the problem with the battery may be before you get stranded.

Bad battery or corroded terminal connections. clean the battery terminals and cable connectors inside and out till you can see new metal, inspect the wires for green or white corrosion if you cannot remove it replace them. And lastly clean and tighten the connection at the starter

A sing l e click is usually a failed starter. A repeated fast click is either a weak battery or a dirty battery cable.

Is it the starter or another problem if a 1990 ford bronco will not turn over even after attempting to jump start it?

Yes, most likely its the starter if the battery is fully charged and it still wont crank. When you turn the key, you should hear a click. That click is the starter engaging. No click, means the starter is no good.


How do you get Lincoln Continental 1978 to start changed battery still wont start?

If it is making a 'click-click-click' noise really fast when you turn it over, that means that either the solenoid, or the electronic ignition module is busted. Easy and cheap to fix.If it is not making the click noise, check your battery connection thoroughly. You may need to pour some coke on your battery connections to remove crud.If you get a jump, and your car starts, but then will not start again, this is because you must allow the alternator enough time to charge up your car's battery. Leave it running for a good 10-15 minutes without the lights or stereo on just to make sure you can start it up again once you get it going.I hope that helps :P

When you try to start your 1997 Toyota Corolla its just clicks what is wrong?

To give a generic answer, it kinda depends on what type of click. If it is a rapid click-click-click-click... it is probably a dead (or near dead) battery. If it is just one solid "click", it is probably your starter. The single click is the sound of the selinoid clicking in to try to engage the starter. If the starter is faulty, it won't engage and turn your engine over to start.
