Check your battery connection's, if when it clicks one time do the lights go off?Then more then likely bad battery connection.With light switch on move battery connection if lights come on you found your problem.

Have a 1988 Landcruser sometimes when I switch on the ignition relay clicks engine will turn but will not start on turning key on and off a few times once the relay doesn’t click engine will start what...

possible problem is a weak fuel pump. The fuel pump relay will engage for about five seconds each time the key is turned to the start position. If the fuel pump is weak then there is nor enough pressure to fire the injectors until the key is recycled several times. You should connect a fuel pressure tester to the fuel system to see if that is what is happening. Try turning the key on and off several times waiting 3 or 4 seconds between turns and then all the way to start.

2002 gmc 1500 4.8 engine- turn the key on everything comes on but engine just clicks.. then out of the clear blue sky it will turn over . had the batery checked and it was ok just 1 year old. n

Hi, I am a mechanic. As I understand you, It sounds to me like the solenoid on your starter is miss connecting. It will do as you say when you turn the key to the start position. sometimes it will just click every time you turn the key to start it will click. then out of the blue it will start. usually this is not so bad when the engine is warm. You can test the starter yourself to check it. You will need to remove it though. Don't forget to disconnect the battery first. Hope this helps

I have a 2005 Nissan Murano and the engine will not turn over. The engine has a clicking sound and all of the lights/windows/gauges work fine.

if its a single click every time you turn the key to the start position than the starter is probably bad. If its multiple clicks when you hold the key in the start position its probably a weak battery.

if the clicking is repeated with out you releasing the key then the battry is in need of charging or replacing, if its a one click each time then the starter motor is faulty.

You either have a bad solenoid on your starter OR a bad ignition switch as these are the only two things that can cause the symptom you describe... I lean to the solenoid first, RARELY does an ignition switch sieze up in the start position but it is a possibility. Several national chain parts stores can test the starter for you (GM starters have the starter solenoid mounted directly to the starter and you need to remove the starter to get to it, so you would take the whole unit in to test it... REMEMBER to disconnect the battery first!)

Turn key 4x to build pressure, on 4th try complete Start seq.

is the engine actually cranking when it doesnt start or do you hear just one "click" each time you turn the key? if the engine is cranking, i would suspect a fuel problem, possibly fuel filter if it wasnt changed when the fuel pump was done. if it is not cranking and you hear one "click" upon turning the key, i would suspect faulty starter or connection problem.
