SOURCE: battery draining with ignition off, clicking sound

Find the relay making the clicking noise by setting your finger on top lightly, then check map on under side of cover for identification.

if the clicking noise is from the starter,you can tap the starter while someone tries to start the car.if it turns over and starts then the starter motor will need to be replaced.if you can get to the starter,using the multi-meter you can check to make sure the solenoid is getting battery voltage at the wire that gets voltage when the key is turned.if you do and you have battery voltage at the larger wire on the starter then this will also indicate the stater motor has a bad spot in it and will have to be replaced.the clicking noise is usually an indication that the solenoid is working passing the voltage to the starter armature but the starter is drawing too much amperage to turn the motor over.either way its recommended to replace the complete unit as if the solenoid is bad the motor itself will usually go bad shortly after.

SOURCE: Battery tests at 12 volts but won't start but starts with jumper cables to other car

Check the voltage when cranking the engine, if it drops below 10 or 11 volts the battery probably needs replacing. Also check the voltage when it is running, it should be 14 volts or more. If it is not then the alternator is not charging.

My 2006 cub cadet Volunteer will only start if I connected a jump starterer to the battery set to 100 amps.

sounds like a bad battery. remove trickle charger and tomorrow measure battery voltage with meter should be 13-14 volts. watch meter while trying to start unit If battery is good it will only drop to 12 volts. If solenoid is bad it is bad and jumping battery will not fix it.

Jumped starter terminals 30/87, starter works but no crank when key turned on.

Click no start is typically a bad battery, bad starter, bad solenoid or loose dirty battery connections. But seems you have covered those items. Have you checked you negative battery cable where it attaches to the frame and motor? Use multi meter and check from positive of battery to the motor(block) for 12 volts. Also do this while turning key to start position. If voltage drops out when doing this double check battery voltage and all connections. If it does not drop then check the solenoid wire coming from ignition. When key in start position you should have a good twelve volts. If you you do then test the main leads hooked to solenoid for power. If solenoid wire from ignition has less than 12 volts double check connections at battery and also test the clutch pedal switch.

Car won't Crank/start

With a voltage meter see how many volts are at the starter terminal. If not 12+ volts you have a bad connection. Check connection at the starter solenoid. Does it have 12+volts? Short the solenoid. Does it put voltage to the starter?

Won't start makes clicking sound,plenty of juice in battery

A battery can show 12 volts yet still be dead (not pushing any amps). Many battery places or auto parts store will do a free test.

Won't start, just makes a clicking sound.

The car will not start, just make clicking noise, it can be problem related to weak car battery or faulty starter,When starter gets faulty, it will just make clicking noise,But if battery looses its charge then also same noise will be heard.So first test car battery.It should have 12 volts. If it shows 12 volt,then check the starter and its connections. ------------ For more troubleshooting, click the link below:--- http://howtobyme.blogspot.com/2011/10/car-troubleshooting-tips.html ----------- This should help.Thanks.Helpmech.

Starter clicks and won.'t start.

Check battery voltage it should be 12-12.6 volts if its less than 12 volts either charge or replace battery.If battery checks out to be good then your starter solenoid is bad.

2008 Hummer occasionally will not start. Completely randon when this occurs. Can sometimes wait a few minutes and it starts and sometimes much longer. This has basically been happenning since new. Dealer...

Do you hear a clicking sound around the engine when it doesn't start? Have someone try the starter while you listen carefully under the hood for the source of the clicking. If it comes from the starter/solenoid area, you will need a voltmeter or test light to test for 12 volts at the battery side of the solenoid (light on or 12 volts always while attempting to start). If light goes out (12 volts goes to zero), then replace the positive battery cable that connects at the solenoid. Next test is at the solenoid other heavy terminal that connects directly to the starter motor. If the light never goes on (12 volts never appear) during start, the solenoid is bad and should be replaced. If light comes on (12 volts appears), then the starter motor is bad and should be replaced. (It likely has a dead spot in the commutator.)

2000 toyota tundra clicks over but does not start? I keep trying to start it and all i hear is click, click, click... The battery is good. What could be the problem? How can I fix it. Al Least temporarily?

double check battery voltage at battery and also at starter solenoid , needs to be at least 12 volts , if you have 12 volts at solenoid you may have a faulty solenoid and or starter assembly... also check cables for voltage drop or loose and or internally corroded cables. if cables are badly corroded or loose it will cause the problem you have listed... please rate my help, thanks...
