When Key is held at the start position, sometimes the starter will kick in and start up. Yesterday it wouldnt turn over. Waited a couple hours and it started right up. It has a new battery.
Starter relay or if dash lights are going out when key is turned it may be ignition switch.

Check battery terminals and make sure they are free of corrosion and are tightly secure on battery. If all is good it may be the stater that's sticking. or maybe clutch safety switch on clutch pedal is going bad. Good Luck contact me if you need more help

You may need a starter. My 99 Kia would get me places and would refuse to start. Someone hit the starter with a wrench and it started right up. I had to hit the starter to get my Kia to start until I replaced it.
Hope this helps.

Yes, it sounds like your solenoid is bad and staying engaged against the flywheel, you could do an amperage draw and a voltage drop test to find out for sure, but you will need an DVOM and a amp clamp. Or you could take it into an auto parts store and they will test it for free. Hope this helps.

If the battery tests that it is holding a charge and has plenty of volts to otherwise start the vehicle then I would be willing to bet that it is the starter. Try following the red or positive battery cable down to the starter. Have some one turn the key to the start position while you or someone else gently taps on the starter with a hammer to see if it is just stuck. If this does not work, i would take the starter out of the vehicle and take it to a parts store and have it tested before buying a new one.

Sometimes if your battery is low there is just enough power to start to close the starter relay but not enough to get past the resistance in the switch. I'm guessing what you hear is the starter relay opening and closing because the battery cannot supply enough power to make it to the starter. My guess would be that you need a new battery or at least a good charge. If you or someone you know has a voltmeter you can check the battery. Just sitting in the car it should be very close to 12 volts. If it is at 10 volts or below it needs to be replaced.
