#93342, "Starting problem, radio area clicks when I crank it.......???????"




          

Could it be some relay in the radio area?? Starting yesterday when I start my car it sometimes doesnt crank, but everytime i turn the key the area behind my radio clicks, i try maybe about 5 times then on the 6th or whatever time it finally turns over... whats the problem??? I live in houston and i needa get the hell out of here before Rita comes and kills me!!!

Sounds like a battery issue to me. How old is your battery?

the clicking is normal..theres a bunch of relays back there.

clean and re-tighten your battery terminals and connections. if that doesnt work, your screwed, as you may have a bad battery or overly corroded connections somewhere in the elctrical system (probably starter). its a very easy fix, but given your circumstance....well...i hope you get out alright.

:shhh: i do cocaine :/shhh:

Check all your connections to the battery. I'd disconnect them and clean them thoroughly with some type of wire brush or some battery terminal cleaner. Also check your ground at the starter...could be corroded as well. If that doesn't do the trick, try some new battery terminals. Hope ya can figure it out man.

Check all your cables and connections (especially at the starter). If your car is a stick get a couple friends pop start that biotch, and get the hell out of there (just don't shut it off).
