If my 2005 ultra sets two weeks it only clicks when I hit the starter button , usually if i put it in gear and rock it it will then start on one occassion I had to push down hill to start , but then once it has been started I can shut it off and start right back up an it will start every time unless it sits two weeks or more , i have replaced the battery and am thinking I need to replace the started , maybe it has a short in it .

When you first turn the key to"on" most starter posts pop out to engage into the flywheel gears. If you don't hear a click when turning the key to "on" re-check the wiring.

Ok, providing your battery is good, if your getting a click, means your circuit is good from the Battery to the start button on to the starter relay(is what you hear clicking). You need to look at your starter motor. Either bad earth to starter motor or worn brushes in the starter motor. There are a few other possibly causes but id inspect the motor first before going into those as there a bit more advanced problem.

it sounds like the dog gear on the motor is stuck, try putting it in gear and rocking the car back and forth a few times, take it out of gear and try the starter again

What type of noise a click? Usually means starter motor not getting enough power to turn over, flay or low battery, or got stuck . Try hitting with a soft mallet. Or put car in gear and rock back and forward, as fly wheel movement may just loosen it off.

PUT the car in seconed gear rock it with the handbrake off,it should work,if it is clicking the starter is stuck,if not it may be the management system

Have u tried boosting it?. if it works replace battery.

Your starter button is a two position switch. The lights are supposed to go dim when the button is pushed halfway in. When pushed in all the way it should activate the starter solenoid. The starter solenoid is located under the seat next to the battery. You can follow the positive battery cable directly to the starter solenoid. If you push the starter button and the starter solenoid clicks, then the starter button is good. If the you unplug the two smaller wires going to the starter solenoid and connect a voltage meter to the main harness leads , the needle should jump whenever you press the starter button. If it does not clean the button contacts or replace the right switch assembly. If the starter button is good then take a jumper wire and short across the two battery cables on the starter solenoid. This will put power directly to the the starter. If the starter works now replace the starter solenoid. If your starter still does not work, try holding the starter button and tapping on the starter with a plastic hammer. If the starter works now then you probably need to replace the starter brushes. If anything else is wrong with the starter you will need to replace the assembly as the dealer will usually only offer the starter brushes for repair purpose.

will it start with a jump? check battery for full charge, maybe alternator is not charging, check battery connections all the way down to starter, check selonoid by cross jumping terminals to engage starter.

Sound like starter is stuck. Try giving it a tap with a rubber mallet, while pressing start button. If this does not work, put bike in gear and push it forward a few feet, then try again to start it. If still nothing try using jumper cables on battery, then start. If no go you have a bad starter.

Either your starter or solenoid is out. You can tell by push starting the vehicle in 2nd gear (you do second gear because there is less strain on it and if for some reason it is damaged, you maintain the use of your vehicle.) if it starts, then drive your vehicle to saturn and have them fix it.....and push for a warranty repair. :D
