Eight days ago 2005 Suburban would not start. Made a clicking sound when I tried to start it. Jumped the battery seemed fine. Today same thing. Made clicking sound, jumped, started up. Went and bought a new battery. Put it in. Went to start it and the thing made the clicking sound again and would not start. What could it be? Thanks!!

Even a new battery will go dead if the car is running on the battery instead of the alternator.
Check alternator output.
First charge the battery up.
Then check voltage with a meter from Harbor Freight ($3).
Should be 12.5.
The start engine and rev it up.
Should go over 14.
But also clean and grease battery terminals, alternator terminals, and check engine ground strap.

My 2006 suburban will not start battery is good. I jumped it a couple days ago and know i have this problem

Sounds like a stuck starter relay to me. I would try replacing the relay in the fuse panel ( there are usually several of the same size and type of relay that you can substitute for diagnostic purposes. if it works then you buy a new one. Cheap and easy way to see if it is going to fix the issue. hope this helps if I doesn't feel free to update

Your alternator is not charging the Battery, I would replace the battery with a new gel battery and have the alternator checked, bets on your battery just died.

Check the battery first, if it is ok you probably have a bad starter. If the battery is drained, you need to charge and test the battery and alternator.

Make sure the battery and alternator is working. Get battery and alternator checked. It did not jump timing. Autozone will do it free and Walmart will check your battery. Lets try this and get back with me
