basically i am push starting my car as of right now, don't know what happened.

My alternator, starter, and battery seem to be fine. when i try to crank it nothing happens just a little clicking noise that seems to be coming under my intake probably the fuse box.

if anyone have answers to my problem please lmk asap :aw:

oh btw when i bought the car from the previous owner it had a alarm and once the alarm is in on it has a ignition kill, can that be a problem to? but when its armed it makes a noise, and when its not it doesnt.

if its 5 spd try your "starter relay" its located on the left side of the battery if your standing in front of your car its a lil hidden in the panel its blue cant miss it.

It could be amperage of the battery. Try to jump start the car....

My bet is with you.

Batteries click when they die.

As already stated, I'd put my money on the battery or a loose ground.

Check your ignition switch, and your battery. You might also have parasitic drain.

Goin' to his house to fix it

I'm thinkin it's just one of his fuses that shorted or his starter came loose. He just did a clutch job no less than 2 weeks ago. If he push starts it, then drives it a little bit it should charge the battery enough to start it again. Unless its like utterly dead hahah.

Batteries don't click when they die.... The starting doesn't have enough amps to crank.... Hence the clicking...

i checked grounds, starter, alternator, battery, distributor, all the fuses are fine

i even jump started, same result NOTHING

the only way i can get around is push starting my car...

im thinking my alarm system has to do something with it not sure

its just 1 click every time i turn the key

the clicking is coming from the "ACC" Fuse in the fuse box under the intake box
