Sounds as if it is the starter and it needs replacement. During this time i would also look to make sure the battery cables are fine. Make sure they are not corroded and properly connected. Generally when i replace a starter i always change the positive and negative cables. If you need further assistance please let me know.

Most likely a battery problem. There may be enough power in the battery to illuminate lights, play the radio, etc, but a lot of power is required to crank the engine over. You have a couple of choices on what to do next: 1st, make sure the battery terminals have a tight connection, and there is no corrosion visible (this can cause your problem) If connections are clean and tight, get a jump start and bring the car to a parts store where they can check the battery and charging system. If you can't get a jump start, remove the battery and bring it to the store for a free check of it's condition. I'm guessing from here that the battery is shot. Is it the original? Let me know if you need more help.

Have to turn the starter many times to get car to turn over and start

Probably the solenoid on the starter. Is that what is clicking? Listen for it, if clicking at the starter, probably a bad starter solenoid. Some cars, not all, have a starter relay in the starting circuit. If clicking at a relay block and not from starter, check for a start relay.

New starter wont start just click

change battery cables. get rid of those small gauge wires and put wire in that will draw amps. I had one car that would kill battery every year and found out the cables were to light to keep it working properly.. both the positive to the starter and the ground cable are way to small for the car. clicking means it isn't getting enough power to the starter to spin the motor !

Car doesn't start, starter clicks

Hi Dave,

I see that you mentioned the starter clicks but will not start the car.

Check Battery connections, clean the contacts to be sure, also if still it does not start the car try a known good battery.

I hope this helps, have a nice day.

Car won't start, just click click click

Generally this means yr battery is shot. get it chkd. otherwise it is the connection to the starter motor or earth wiring. Basically it indicates that the main stream power from the battery is not there and therefore not enough to start the motor. cheers

2003 BMW 325I clicking but won't start

Check for a weak solenoid (spelling) on top of starter. Magnet too weak to throw out the bendix.

Car is slow to start

One single click or a series of rapid clicks. One single click would indicate that the starter is starting to go bad. A series of rapid clicks would indicate a weak battery. If you don't get it fixed than you have three options. 1. Pray it starts 2. Cross your fingers 3. Don't shut off the car after you have started it.

Car clicks when trying to start but won't start

Does it only click when you try to jump start it? I suggest checking the starter solenoid.

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.

Clueless...

my 96 rodeo does alot of the clicking B/S.. for about 3years though and the clicking has never interfered with anything but my own nerves. a friend of mine has the same make and model, and his does the same clicking thing, and also runs good. Most the Rodeos/Passports/pathfinders around the same year i see Also make the same clicking noise.. My guess is the clicking might not be related to your starting issue... Good Luck :)
