YOU MEAN YOU PUT THE CHARGER ON WITHOUT DISCONNECTING THE NEGATIVE CABLE ??
Disconnect both terminals and with a fully slow 2 amp charge iver night reconnect the battery and make sure EVERYTHING inside the car is turned off , even the dome light if a switch is available if not take the bulb out , now turn the key to ignition position but do not try to start it , read what it says , if noghing , start your engine ,
Wish I knew what kind of car it is... clearing the codes does not always make the car run , I CLEAR THE CODES AFTER THE REPAIRS ARE PERFORMED... HOPE MR. OWEN IS RIGHT AND I LEARN SOMETHING NEW ??

Charge the battery. disconnect the cables and hook it back up. you should be able to turn on the ignition key to clear out message. if that doesnt work you can plug in an odb reader and clear out the codes.

SOURCE: starter starts...engine dosn't crank...starter dosn't stop.

Hi

An unusual one here !

Suspect the problem lies in the starter solenoid.

But most strange a for constant live feed with ignition off.

May possibly be more a relay problem ?

Good Luck

John.

P.S. Don´t forget to give me a rating please !

Check your ground wire for battery where it connects to your frame.

Also check/clean the connections where the positive wire goes to the starter solenoid. Any connection you run into from the battery, clean them off with a wire brush or sandpaper.

Starter Solenoid can also be failing/dead, these can be tested for free at most auto part stores if you remove them from the vehicle.

Difficultly starting 2011 ford ranger, will attempt at starting and then go to the clicking sound. Would you be able to assist me with this problem?

Sounds like either a dead battery or a faulty alternator. Go to an auto parts store like Auto Zone and ask if they can check your battery and your alternator.

Good Luck!

Vehicle acts like dead battery but it is not.

It is a type of security system. Like you said all functions are turned off until you push button because battery is disconnected from system.

Intermittent Starting problem in mornings

I would tend go with the starter here, it is likely the copper contacts inside the starter solenoid are burnt and making a poor connection. If that is the case you should hear a click from the starter but no engine start. If not then check the battery cables and the stater connections for looseness or corrosion.

Clicking sound when trying to crank the car. Battery is only 6 months old.

A CLICKING SOUND USUALLY MEANS LOW VOLTAGE. COULD BE LOW BATTERY,OR BAD OR DIRTY CONNECTIONS AT THE BATTERY & OR STARTER. TRY JUMP STARTING WITH GOOD JUMPER CABLES " STRONG CLAMPS & #4 CABLE " . IF THAT WORKS THE BATTERY IS LOW IF IT STARTS CHECK VOLTAGE AT THE BATTERY WHILE RUNNING. VOLTAGE SHOULD READ BETWEEN 13.90 & 14.80. IF THAT IS OK , THE ALTERNATOR IS WORKING, CHECK THE BATTERY

Last few days car seemed hesitant to start and this morning wont turn at all it just gives a small clicking noise

Maybe the battery is going bad.

Or, connections are bad.

Or the alternator isn't charging the battery enough.

Wont start funny clicking sound when i turn the key ???

Hi!!

The clicking you are hearing, is the sound of a weak battery, Jump start the vehicle and take it to an AutoZone for a Charging System check.

Good Luck!!

2007 Monte Carlo wouldn't start this morning.

The vehicle is almost new so I wouldn't normally suspect a bad battery due to weather changes. A dome light or spot light might have been forgotten which would drain the battery over night. Check all light switches and you'll know right away if that's what may have drained the battery to cause this clicking sound that is so typical of a dead battery.
Hope this helps

Non starting engine, rapid clicking noise

Mike, From your description of the problem, and given that the car was, prior to this attempted start, working properly, it soinds like you are not getting enough power to your starter solenoid to fully engage, thus the click. Start by checking your connections at the battery, make sure they are clean and tight, I would suggest you disconnect and clean thououghly with a wire terminal brush. Water and baking soda will help dissipate the acid build up. You may then spray the connections with a contact spray, (from your local auto parts store), then reconnect. Also if you think the battery is weak, you could try a boost when you attempt to re-crank. Your connection at the solenoid should also be checked and cleaned, although the problem is likely at the battery. Remember, it takes a lot more amps to engage the starter and spin your engine, than to turn on the lights and blow your horn. If this works, you should have your charging system checked for output..usually free at advance or autozone. The corrosion at the terminals works both ways, not only can it keep your car from cranking, it can impede charging of your battery as well. Hope this is helpful.
