Start with double checking both ends of both battery cables. Be sure the connections are clean and tight. Have the battery tested at your local auto parts store. You may think it is charged but it may be expired. If all that checks okay you may have a bad starter/solenoid assembly. The clicking you hear is normal, that would be relays doing their thing.
Generally, if a car engine will not turn over without a jump start, the battery is not charged. Either the alternator is not charging it, or the battery has failed and will not hold a charge. Since you have replaced the alternator, that leaves the battery. You can have your battery tested at an auto parts store before buying a new one. It is also possible that there is something draining your battery while the engine is off. The clicking noise from the ABS indicates possible electrical system malfunctions that are best diagnosed by a professional mechanic.
start by having the battery checked. If the battery is good, then check the starter relay. If this is bad, repalce the starter. Also check battery connections. Sometimes they can seem tight but just aren't. Take them off the battery terminals and clean them. This will also stop your batter from charging.
could be the alternator. could be the battery, the alternator charges the battery but does not stop the battery holding a charge.could also be a bad starter motor. take alternator off and have it tested. most places will test for free
The problem is not the starter. The battery is either not holding or not receiving enough charge. Problem could be (1) loose alternator beltl (2) loose/corroded battery cable(s); (3) dead cell(s) in the battery; (4) bad alternator.
I have a VW Jetta 2001 I have had so many thing done to this car this summer $ 3,000 dollar worth when I turn my car on it goes blank let it set for a day it starts back up got a cable jump that's last for a week could it ce my battery also took it to auto zone they said my battery was low but I afraid to buy the battery and still have the same problem. please!!! help sign all cashed out,
Does the engine turn over and then make the clicking noise while trying to start, or does it not do anything but make the clicking noise when you turn the key. If its not turning over at all then it might be a battery problem, Try cleaning the battery terminals, and/or charge the battery, Could also be the starter solenoid, but start with the battery first.
More than likely the battery is discharged. It can also be a defective starter. Fully charge the battery and see what you have.
A click and no lights is an indication of a loose battery cable. Also, the battery may have a dead cell and won't take/hold a charge.
You may also have a faulty starter solenoid or starter Your battery is low, or you have a bad connection in your cables. -I would try to charge your battery first, but if that doesn't help then go ahead and have your starter looked at! :)
Check the leads to the starter and also if the battery has a full charge (should be around 12.4 volts). There may be a short in the wiring, fried starter solenoid or a wiring issue.
Check the level of the electrolyte (water) in the battery if possible. If it is near full, then reconnect the battery charger and charge it at the 2 AMP rate. This is known as a "trickle" charge. Your charger may have the 6 amp charge rate also. The amp meter on the charger will indicate a lower and lower reading as the battery is charging and accepts the charge. An Auto Zone can "load test" your battery for free if you can get it to one of their stores. Your battery sounds weak and needs a good charge (be patient...it takes time) or needs replacing.
Check your cable connections to the battery.... disconnect from the battery, then charge battery. reconnect and should be fine also you may want to check the wireing to the starter if these dont fix the problem smack the starter with a hammer if its carrroied up inside that should let you start it if wires are good at battrie slionid and starter replace starter
You can get a new battery, you can jump start the car with jumper cables and another car with a charged battery. You can also put a battery charger on your battery to give it a charge.
If the Chrysler is only making a clicking noise and will not start, check the starter. Also check the alternator, and the battery. The starter solenoid is more than likely the reason the car is clicking and not starting.

it sounds like a dead battery recharge and try again
Yes, the battery may be defective is you cannot jump start the car. The battery may also be so low as to need to be charged some before you attempt to start the car. Put a charger on the battery and see if it will accept a charge.
