Heard a clicking noise right side interior now won't start

hi
if the noise is there and it get loud as the speed increase
then check your wheel bearing.

sounds like a loose wire. when you turn key do your interior lights go out?

check your battery connections then charge the battery over night then check the charging system

change battery in remote

i have a 1992 honda civic hatchback with an 1995 single head vtec motor. the problem with my car is when i go and try to start the car it wont start up right away. instead it makes a clicking noise everytime i step on the clutch and turn the key. my honda is a 5 speed... sometimes it starts up right away but also sometimes it just seems like after 10 to 15 clicks the car still havent started yet. all the lights and everything else comes on fine from what i can see... what else can be the problem or anything that i can do very soon without spending any or alot of money yet???

is there a emobileliser in your civic? ive a 98 hatchback civic with an emobileliser in it and if i set it off same thing loud click and wont let me take out the key,,then i reset it from the side of the steering wheel ,with this special thing i have with my key,,,,sounds weird whats happing to you,,let me know more if u can

The CV axle is bad, If the CVboots on the right side are bad, have it replaced too.

battery voltage to low or bad connection at battery post

Dont Drive Yourself Nuts With The Clicking Its Not Your Problem. Does It Start Sometimes? When You Turn The Key Do You Just Get A Click From Your Starter? Cause It Sounds Like Your Starter.

Hi Meadors,

The clicking sound you heard most likely the starter solenoid engaging the starter. Only in this case it's failing to engage the starter. This is a classic symptom of a low battery. Here's why.

In a perfect world, when you turn the key to start:

1. the solenoid is fed 12VDC which engages an electromagnetic coil inside it.
2. A spring loaded steel piston inside this coil reacts to the magnetic field. It is pulled against the spring. By itself this sounds like a loud decisive CLICK.
   
3. The movement of the piston simultaneously pushes the starter gear into the flywheel and sends power to the starter via heavy duty contacts. The starter draws a lot of power.
4. The starter spins, turns the engine, the engine starts, life is good.
5. When the key is released, the solenoid disengages, the spring pushes the piston back, the starter gear disengages from the flywheel.
   

In our world, when you turn the key to start:

1. The solenoid which draws it's share of power engages as before. Click.
   
2. As the starter tries to spin, the power available is insufficient. It draws all remaining power, there isn't enough left to keep the solenoid active and it turns off.
3. Since the starter isn't drawing power anymore, the solenoid re-engages and the cycle starts over. Click.
4. The cycle repeats. Click. A series of rapid clicks. Same page?
   

While a dead battery is the prime suspect, there can be other causes. Things to do:

• Check belts, specifically on the alternator.
• Terminal connections clean and tight.
• In the 'Let's not over look the obvious' department: Battery voltage?
• Get a jump. Try a jump start.
• If a jump gets you going, it is either the battery not holding a charge or the alternator not providing one.
  

Even new batteries can be bad off the shelf. Especially if they have been on that shelf for a while. They may show the voltage but not the amps. This is called a 'Surface Charge'.

If you don't have a voltmeter, what you need to do now is visit an auto parts store (not a shop). Most (in the hope of making a sale) will provide free testing of batteries and charging systems.

What you need is called a "Load Test" on the battery. It simulates the load of an engine being started. This will confirm the battery is good or bad.

Then with the car running, they need to check the voltage to the battery (they will know this). If it's not above +13VDC, the alternator is bad or not connected correctly.

And if it doesn't start, what better place to be?

Let me know what they and you find out by commenting.

Mike
