Sporadic starting. turn key on: click click click click. Took it to a shop and they told me that the ran all diagnostics and found nothing except that the battery was dead. Replaced battery yesterday. Used the van last night no problems. Went out this morning and it did the clicking again. Took me 5 attempts before it started. When I turn the key to the last position prior to starting, I listened under the hood and it was silent. A friend told me I should hear a slight humming from the starter. I put a new alternator on it a year ago. Does it sound like the starter is going bad?
Front right as you look down on the engine. Follow the dip stick pipe down to it's bottom, (yellow). It will be to the right of where the pipe enters the engine block, fitted from left to right, (red). See photo.
Back bottom of the engine at the engine block to bell housing.

You need to check that the alternator is charging the battery.. If you have a voltmeter check it at the posts.. should be about 40 amps.
Along with this check battery cables.

Nissan: Is the clicking sound loud like a solenoid or mild like a relay? Use a test light to see if your getting juice to the solenoid. Also might want to check for juice in and out of the clutch switch while your at it.
Truck: Check for juice at the starter. If the new solenoid is clicking, it's probably working, so the next thing to check is for juice at the starter. If yes, then disconnect the battery and drop the starter and have it tested. If it's not the starter, pull the spark plugs out and try turning the engine by hand with a braker bar and socket on the harmonic balancer. Is there any reason to suspect that the enging might be siezed up?

Sounds like you need a starter, or you have a loose wire somewhere under the hood.

the battery is located under the rear seat, check battery connections. if connections are tight replace starter.
