clicking every morning
Tuesday, June 19, 2007 11:45 AM
so the issue is everymorning i get up to goto work and try to start the car it jus keeps clicking for about 2 minutes before it actually starts. Then later in the day i have no problems starting. What the hell is going on? I have been replacing all sorts of parts on my car within the last year. It has 122000 miles on it and within last year i have got new redtop battery, new alternatorm, new starter, new plugs and wires. But lately the last id say 2 weeks ive been having this starting problem. PLEEEEEEEASE HELP!!! lol

Just clicks instead of cranking? May have got a bad rebuilt starter if so. Have a parts store test it, and if it tests bad, exchange it at the place you bought it for another one and have them test the new one on the spot so you don't walk out the door with a dud.

Good Luck.

sounds like a bad connection to me

that is almost always what causes clicking when trying tocrank the engine

check and clean all connections, make sure all are tight

somewhere is a bad one

good luck

is there alot of dew in the morning where you live? if so this could be the problem. the dew could be gettin on one of the connectors and when you try to start its shorting the current out on something and after trin to start for awhile the connector gets hot and the dew evaporates and then you can start. then later on in the day the sun comes out and the dew evaporates and you dont have the problem anymore.
