When we try to turn it over, it tries to catch and turn over but won't. And it makes the Click noise off and on. It will Start for a few days with no problems, and then the next day you can't start it for a week and you can jump it occasionally. If you connect a rod between the solenoid and the starter the starter starts but the car wont start. Put brand new battery in. The cables showed a lot of corrosion in just 1 week. The starter was tested and it was working, and the alternator was tested and it was working as well. What can it be?
Problem starter switch is next
jumping the terminals of the starter will turn the engine over but unless the ignition switch is working , there is no circuit for the spark so it will not start

sounds like the starter is not engaging the flywheel if the starter make noise like a power saw and the engine is not cranking may be the starter solenoid is not working I have seen this happen whit brand new starters now before you change your starter again ask some one to turn the key for you and see if the crankshaft or any otter pulley is rotating. if noting turn then replace the starter again and ask them to tested for you at the store and see if the gear comes out like it shut. If you see the crankshaft and pulleys rotating but the engine wont start you have otter problem if the engine hardly turn whit a fully charge battery or jump start from another car take all spark plugs off and tray again whit out the spark plugs if coolant comes out of the engine you have a floated cylinder and a blown head gasket. Note may be a good idea to change your battery clamps wile you are at it or at leas clean then using a wire brush bad contact on battery clamps causes to lose power doing start. hope can help you good luck. :)
SOURCE: Sounds like it wants to start up, but doesn't. No
There are too many variables involved and without further tests you would only be guessing. The problem needs to be broken down to either fuel or ignition assuming you have compression and the mechanics of the engine are sound. Firstly try spraying a little engine starting fluid into the intake and see if it will fire or run for a few seconds. If it starts on starting fluid you have a fuel problem, if not then its electrical. From there you can report back and the fault can be further diagnosed.

is it even clicking you probably have a bad starter ground or you have a bad solinoid
