when i go to turn the key all i get is a click sound and all the power goes off then comes back on. the battery still has full power and it doesn't seem like it is the connection to the battery. my car has been stolen twice in the last year and a bit so im wondering if its maybe the started motor or sulanoid(sorry about spelling). maybe when people are jabbing everything with screw drivers they short it out and it eventually stops working. i dont know. but im trying to find a job and now my car is dead so im fraking out.

if anyone has a suggestion that would be awsome.

thank you

Sounds like what happened to my moms bronco back in june, we concluded the starter had siezed up for some reason, my step dad pounded on it with a malet and it started up just fine after that, but i wouldnt recomeend doin it unless your deperate, i would wait until someone else replies.

Hey make shure that your solanoid has a good ground and if that dosent help get a new one that should help but if it dosent i would say starter. and their a pain in that *** to put in, but try the cheepest thing first.

your starter wire could be lose.silanoid is cheap get that first.
and a starter ain't that hard.......unless you have L/T'S then yeah,but managable

hit your solenoid a few times, thats likely your problem if your getting a clicking noise.

Also make sure all the connections at the battery are clean and tight.Some times when the connections are dirty when the soleniod gets loaded the battery connection looses power.

yeah,but if it's clicking it could be a ground/pos issue
try jumping it too don't count out the battery just yet.

I know that to I was just posting that because it happened to me many times.The soleniod clicked and from the load it lost connection at battery terminal.
