Sorry if this has been brought up already but I am not getting my starter to crank it just clicks. Any ideas?

check your connections, and corrosion on the battery terminals, make sure everything is tight. check to see if your battery is faulty under a load test. check your relay/switch

Smack it with a wrench. If it starts, you need a new starter. If it doesn't check the other stuff mentioned above, but chances are you still need a new starter.

stupid click... i hate it! it still haunts me to this day...

Do the easiest thing first.
Check your battery connections
and check battery voltage and amperage.
Charge if needed.

Smack the starter repeatedly and try to start it.
If it starts, your starter solenoid is going out or already gone.
Replace starter.

thanks guys I will try it today and let you know how it goes

smacking the starter should be the absolute last thing you want to do. if its still good, and you wack it, you could ruin it.

Once you start hearing the click that pretty much spells the doom of the car. Sorry to report. Near impossible to repair.
