SOURCE: lights come on radio works, car will not start. When I turn the ignition on it clicks

Check and clean the battery terminals, just went through this exact same problem myself this week! Google "clean battery terminals" if you have never done this before, pretty easy.

you gotta make sure you re-plugged it properly, when you unplugged it a small piece of debris, may have fallen in, gently blow on the connections and re-plug it

SOURCE: new starter good batt. only clicks wont turn over 1995 montero

The Batt does not have a full charge or it is the wrong cranking AMP's for the car... find out if it is the right Batt and also that it is put on a "slow charge" over night or at least 6 hr's

SOURCE: dead battery but fuse box makes a ''clicking'' noise

did you have the battery light on when the car was running
try a new battery see if that solves it if not then it is the alternator

SOURCE: HI, my car for the

It could be the solenoid on the starter that is clicking and needs replacing.

My question is--- Why is this still an issue a few months later?
--- You need to start diagnosing these problems when they first happen,so you resolve them and have reliable transportation again.

Was the Battery Tested in any way or you just replaced it in a wish and hope type approach?
