Why Does Your Car Click but Will Not Start When You Turn the Key?
Turning the ignition key or pressing the start button only to hear a clicking sound is a frustrating experience for any driver. This common issue indicates that while your vehicle's electrical control system is attempting to initiate the starting sequence, there is a failure in delivering sufficient electrical current or mechanical force to rotate the engine. When you hear that distinct click, it means the starter solenoid is receiving some level of electrical power, but the starter motor itself cannot spin the engine's flywheel to bring the vehicle to life.
