It might be your starter motor is stuck or u/s also the battery could be flat, the best way to try and start it is to get a freind to turn the vehicle ignition while at the same time you tap the starter motor, if it starts turn it off and try again, but not tapping it, if it works by itself you have a sticking solinoid on your starter motor, if all it does is click, try checking the battery for power, anymore help just reply hope that helps

I like the sticking selinoid answer but you need to clean all the connections first. Clean the battery connections first & retighten. Clean the starter connections but first disconnect the negative ground cable at the battery. If the car still wont start, remove & replace the starter. A rebuilt starter should be O.K. provided the warranty is a good one with at least a 3 month coverage. Good luck!

SOURCE: clicking noise when trying to start car,battery is ok, wont start

That Clicking is the Battery causing it not to Start. You need to Replace that Battery or at Least put a Charger on it for a Couple of hours to see if you can Salvage it for a While.

It is your battery it may not be completly dead but it is too dead to run the starter. It take 300 -600 amp to run a starter and 20 amp to run a stereo

SOURCE: car wont start...sometimes

Sounds like a bad starter solenoid, usually cheapest and easiest to replace the starter and solenoid as a unit. It is always best to check for power between the solenoid and the starter with a test light, if the solenoid clicks but the test light doesn't light up you have found the problem in the solenoid.

SOURCE: 92 Lexus LS400 only clicking noise when I turn key to start

There are a number of things that could cause that. Try turning the key to the on position and crossing the starter terminals with a screwdriver. If it starts you have a bad ignition. If it still just clicks your starter has seized up or your battery might be lacking the charge to do the job. Hope these help you.

IT MIGHT BE A BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR PROBLEM.

OTHERWISE

It might be a faulty starter.
One of the symptoms of a bad starter is a single clicking noise when you turn the key or push the start button. ... Most likely, you'll need to get your starter repaired or replaced. If you can jumpstart your car, drive to your nearest repair shop to get the problem diagnosed.

there are many other possibilities,if the above options are not helping:

My car wont start battery is not dead,but wont turn over?

if the battery is fine check if you hear a clicking noise coming from the starter motor when you turn the key to try and start the engine.
If you hear this noise then this is a good indication that the selenoid has failed meaning you need to replace the starter motor.

You can give the starter motor a hit with a piece of wood as some times this will get the starter motor working just to start the car but this isnt a permanent fix and could leave you stuck if you used the car.

Now if the starter motor isnt clicking but you hear a clicking noise coming from either the cars fuse box or the ecu when you turn the key to start the car then this would indicate a problem with the imobiliser this would need testing using a diagnostic machine as their is no other way of testing this to find out if its at fault.

Let me know how you get on or if you need further assistance ok

The humming noise you hear is the fuel pump. It is probably your starter soleniod. If you hear an electric click under the dash near the steering column when you turn the key then the ignition switch is ok and your starter needs to be replaced. This happened to me last month.

Won't start...99 cadillac deville...no juice to the starter

hi, can you hear a clicking noise when you turn the key to start as the starter gets its power direct from the battery so also check these wires are connected and not came loose.
If you can hear a clicking noise when you turn the key this means the starter motor needs replacing ok.

Listen for a click from under the steering column when you turn the key on. If you hear no electrical click then your ignition switch could be bad. If you hear an electrical click the you starter soleniod is bad.
