clickiing sounds like a starter problem...thats what mine did before the starter completely died

 

MP,

Welcome Aboard!

Does the clicking come from the engine comparment or inside the passenger compartment? If it is from under the hood, you likely have a starter solenoid failing, or possib;y a connection problem at the solenoid, battery, or engine ground. You may also have a starter motor brush problem if the click is very distinct but you get no cranking.

If the clicking is from inside the passenger compartment, you may have a problem with the neutral safety/clutch safety circuit, or the start enable relay.
