It could be a loose or corroded connection somewhere in the wiring. Make sure your hot and ground cables are tight on the battery. Then make sure your connection at the starter is solid. Make sure there is no corrosion on the cables or connections too. If this all checks good, the replacement starter could be faulty. I've had many replacement parts be bad right out of the box.
you need to replace the starter contacts, you will need to remove the starter and in the starter there are "contacts" that wear out over time and will need to be replaced im sure if you google it there will be better repair tips on this
Bryan, 1st check that the battery connections are clean and tight, and also the same for starter connections (starter is positioned between the engine and transmission, probably has 2-3 bolts and wiring connections. Have you had the battery tested? Don't buy a starter until you do. The lights and radio can work, but the battery could be undercharged enough to not be able to crank the engine over (you are correct that the 'clicking' sound is classic bad or low charge battery, but check the above 1st). A parts store can do a free check if you pull it out and bring it down. After checking the connections, try to jump start the car. Good luck. Hope this helps.
Dead Battery, bad altinator or bad starter. Have battery tested first. If bad replace.Then test alt, Before you change starter. Battery terminals could be corroded or loose also.
i presume what you are saying is you hear the starter engage but the motor doesn't turn over. get a boost and try starting the car. if it will not turn over then... have someone turn the key while another person taps the starter with a hammer. if it starts then you need to replace the starter.
Hi! is your starter motor cranking or not? if not. make sure all the connection on your battery is tight specially the ground (black) wire. however, if the starter motor cranks. the possible problems are: no.1 starter motor. no 2. ignition system (distributor) no.3 fuel system (fuel pump). no 4. broken timing belt. no 5. loss compression. Hope this will help
