It sounds like you have a problem with the starter solenoid or the starter relay. Usually, a "click" heard under the hood with a good battery indicates a faulty starter solenoid. In this case, the starter wants to work, but the solenoid which is usually attached to it won't transmit the necessary power to run the starter and crank the engine. Starter replacement is the only remedy in this case. If the click is heard from the fuse box, then it may only be a relay that is the culprit. Try swapping the starter relay with the horn relay or another one that has the same part number. Be sure to also check that the battery connections and grounds are clean and tight.

SOURCE: 1999 caravan under dash relay clicking

You may want to try pulling connections off BCM (body control module) and cleaning them with contact spray cleaner or similar & re-installing. Sometimes you'll get lucky & this will cure it, without replacing BCM.70846a5.gif

SOURCE: 2003 dodge caravan won't start

My 2003 dodge caravan would not start after driving about 1/2 hour. I stopped for coffee and when got back in to start it started I switched gears and it stalled. I tried to start again switched gears then it started but only for 2 sec. No clicking, no cranking sound just would not start but battery functions were great. Spent 2 days with a mechanic who could not resolve so sent to Dodge. After a day of putting wires back and checking out the problem they said it was the computer. Said that it was bad and could be replaced at no charge due to malfunction. Yes, it worked fine afterwards no more problems. They also said that some of the computers are found to be defective like this one so I hope this helps you in the right choice to have the dealer check it out if you are unable to get a computer reading and there is no obvious short in the system. Free sounded very good but as you know there is no such thing as really free as they got me for other things $350 worth. ouch!

SOURCE: Blew a fuse that powers radio/clock/lighter in

there is a fuse box under the dash on the drivers side. it is very hard to reach. it is located above your left knee when you are seated in the drivers seat. lay on your back, look up under the dash, use flashlight. The lid for the fuse box has a diagram showing which fuse goes to the radio.

SOURCE: 2005 toyota corolla horn doesn't work

You can replace the horn. Check to see if the wires connected to the horn have power. Check with a test light. If power is present then the horns are bad.

What could be the issue with my 2010 Corolla and it will not start. I had the battery tested and that is good

This sounds like a bad starter. If you locate the starter it will sometimes work temporarily if you peck on it with a hammer

1999 toyota solara cigarette lighter and 12v are not working need to know what fuse to replace? is there a fuse box inside there is 2 of them under hood but nothing about car lighter or clock lights

Hi,
Check your owner's manual if you have one. It will tell you the locations of your fuse boxes.
On my '03 corolla, there is a small enclosed one to the left of my steering wheel, under the dash. Maybe yours is in the same location. hope this helps...
Good luck!

Turn signal stopped working 1990 Mercury Cougar

I had the same problem and the flasher is not located in the fuse box because it is not a normal flasher. the cougar has an electronic flasher unit that is located on the left side of the center console. the best and cheapest place to order a new one is amazon.com. they run about $30-$40

2004 corolla fuse box

open the driver's side door and look on the side of the dash. If it's not there, check the passenger's side on the center console. If not there, check under the hood.
