That clicking noise is your starter, your battery is dead or severly drained and when you try to start you car, your starter selnoid is trying to turn over, but doesn't have enough juice to get it going, so it's making that clicking noise. If you have a old, dead battery, it is time to replace it, if it's new and only been drained for exmaple leaving headlight on etc... then you can try to jump your camry with a jumper cable through another vehicle. Let it the car run for about 30 min or so to have it charge. You can also take it to autozone, advance auto part and have them charge for free or test it.

Was driving my 1995 plymoyth grand voyager about 50 mph down road when engine shut off and now wont restart all i get now is a click noise what could be issue

Click noise meaning that engine does not spin over? Bad battery cable connections or dead battery may be first issue.

My 2006 chevy trailblazer 2wd 6cyl wont start. makes clicking noise, then nothing lights/radio etc work but wont start what is it

You got a jump and it ran fine? It's your battery. The lights and radio are much easier for a battery to handle than spinning a car engine. Again, if all you needed was a jump, you have a bad battery.

Everything is dead

Hi eyansdaddy,
Sounds like a bad connection on the battery , check the earth cable on the battery and the one that earths the engine to the bodywork (at the bottom of the engine) if there worn or frayed it can stop the engine from starting. all the best Scott

Clicking noise, but electric comes on

I'm guessing that you hear the clicking noise when you try to start it and it doesn't start? A repeated clicking noise is a good sign that the battery is to weak to turn the engine over. If you can get it to start with a jump start than you just confirmed the battery was dead.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

My battery is dead and when i open the door i hear a clicking sound in the dash and noise coming out of seatbelt. i charged the battery then it goes dead in a hour and clicking noise comes back

the first thing to check is your battery cables to see if there is any corrosion on them. then i would have the alternator tested to see if it is bad, that will kill the battery as quick as just a few minutes. also have your battery tested to make sure there is not a bad cell in it.

Vw Golf 98 clicking sound from engine when starting

If it just clicks when you are trying to start, the battery is low, near dead and needs recharge or replace.
If it starts and strange clicking continues, it is a sign of hydraulic valve lifters not functioning properly --which can be caused by low oil pressure (because of low oil level or bad oil pump). If the battery is good and drains dead after a while --something is connected that should not be. Even your dome light can do that --or the headlights on --or the parking lights on. Check the oil level, if low, add oil and check again.

1994 Toyota Corolla will not start

Most times a clicking sound is either an almost dead battery (hence any noise at all, a totally dead battery would be nothing) or it could be a starter problem. Try jumping it.

2003 Galant Clicking noise when trying to start.

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
