Re: Alternator/Starter need Guidance

If the battery is charged and the solenoid on the starter just clicks then it's probably your starter. Pull your stater and have it checked at Autozone for free if you can't get the car started. If you can get the car started, have the alternator, battery, and starter checked. Good luck.

Will it start with a jumper box or say battery cables attached ?
