weird ticking noise
by Ray_S » Sat Oct 03, 2009 9:26 pm
My car won't fire. when I turn the key it just constantly ticks like it's trying to fire but won't. Any help or information would be appreciated.

Think the ticking is the solenoid on the starter striking? That theres not enough power in your battery to fire it up properly. How new is your battery? Check the charge and recharge it to see if it needs a new battery, could be the problem.
If its not that I'd say check the starter motor.

I'd Check Immobiliser, Battery + connections and starter motor + connections..
