Engine doesnt turn, just clicks.

Take the starter off and go through it again, with a no crank condition its pretty simple in that there is only a few components that are going to prevent cranking over, starter and starter solenoid, battery, and ignition switch. If its clicking thats most likely the starter solenoid clicking but the starter motor isn't spinning. Bench testing a starter only tells you that it will spin without any load on it, but on the engine it might not have enough power to spin. Check all cables, clean all connections, check voltage at the starter terminals and compare to the battery voltage, if there is a big difference you have a bad connection somewhere causing voltage drop.

If all else fails get a new starter since its a new battery and go from there. Having it out on the bench without a load might have got it unstuck and working again, still sounds like a failing starter. Try giving the starter a few taps with a hammer on the side and try starting again to see if its stuck.

If you turn the key and only hear a clicking sound and engine doesnt turn then it could be the starter motor sellinoid that needs replacing. First check battery for correct voltage. OR If the starter gets hot, and turns the engine slowly, the it (starter) brushes and armature could be finished and damaged. Starter then needs an overhall or replacement.

You may have a defective starter solenoid, this is the common symptom, a click and no engine turn over. Have a shop diagnose this before any parts are replaced but i feel sure the starter solenoid is the problem here. The solenoid is mounted to the top of the starter motor which is bolted into the transmission's bell housing.

A good hot battery shoulde do it. Have you had any problems with the security system? That's all that should keep it from starting now. Have you put a socket on the crank bolt to make sure the engine is not seized and turns freely?
Good luck.

check to see if the other starter you put on drained your battery that is usually what the click means is that the battery doesnt have enough juice to make the starter turn your engine over its just got enough to make the starter try to engage and as soon as the load of the engine is put on it cant do anymore, so check your battery make sure its has a good charge. if your battery is charged and you still only get the click noise then you need to make sure all your connections are tight and are making good metal to meatal contact so that the electricity can flow through it all properly and the voltage from the battery can get to the starter

The starting system consists of:

• starter motor
• starter switch, part of the ignition switch
• starter motor solenoid relay switch
• starter solenoid
• starter drive

When you turn your key to start your engine, it just clicks, right? If so, more than likely this is due to a bad battery. Even though your battery may appear to be fully charged, it may have a dead cell, or worse. If you get a jump, does the vehicle start? If so, replace your battery.

Possible sources of the problem if the engine does not crank or the relay clicks:

1. Battery
2. Starter motor
3. Starter motor relay
4. Ignition switch
5. Damaged fuse
6. Anti-theft system
7. Circuitry

The just clicks is aways a bad connection causing low voltage at the starter, But the starter can be bad or ( hung in) Turn the engine by hand to se that it will turn if you hear a loud click when you turn the engine the starter ws hung, The starter being loose or worn out will let the gear climb up on a tooth of the flywheel. once cleared it may start right up. if there's alot of gear noise then the starter and or the ring gear (flex plate) may be damaged and need to be replaced. Low voltage is most ofte the cause, The old batery being bad or the new one being low, ( not charged) is most often the cause. After turning the engine, With jumper cables connected to another running car try again, Try hooking the ground cable of the jumper cables right to the engine block or case of the starter. if ti starts this way and not after you unhook the cables you have a cable connection from the battery to the block or the positive cable where it hooks to the starter bad

Is this the original battery? Have u had it tested? The no crank, clicking noise is classic dead battery symptoms, lights can still work, but not enough power to turn engine over. If it's the original battery, it's at the end of it's life cycle, and should be replaced. U can get the battery tested for free at any parts store.

have you checked you your spark plugs and your plug wires make sure your getting gas to the engine also
