Used parts such as starters and altinators don't last. It might **** but it sounds like you need to buy a new starter,altinator, and battery. Or just start with buying one at a time.
If car wont start and clicking sound is heard this is a battery related or starter related, if your car battery is in good condition (which I think it was) then the problem is your starter, have it check to confirm.
The clicking sound is usually
associated with a dead or low battery where there isn't enough power
for the starter to crank so it clicks. Test the battery as it
should read 12V plus/minus .2V If the battery is good, then the starter solenoid, starter cables or the starter motor itself could be a problem.
sounds like the terminals at the starter may be bad. thats the sounds you would normally get from a dead battery, but if the batt and terminals are good then check the connection at the starter. if the connection at the starter is good then you probably need a new starter.
make sure you have power getting to your starter when you crank. check the small nut on the starter. should have 12 v or very close to it. this will tell you if your getting power to the starter or if somethign before the starter and something maybe with your anti theft system or not. its hard to say online cause of that anti theft. doest the light flash at all? the anti theft light?
if your getting power to the starter when you crank make sure your getting good power to the starter by turning on the head lights and see if they dim. a good starter will cause the headlites to dim when attempting to start. if nothing dims check connections. or assume bad starter motor. make sure your also getting power to the main starter stud as well.
no leak would affect the starter and if its clicking then its not a fuse issue, same goes for the terminals. but make sure your battery is fully charged and then it sounds like the starter is bad. it can click and still have the starter spin up and the gears can be busted so either way you need to replace the starter.
