Everything in my car comes on, but it does not start. It makes a clicking noise once i push the brakes and push the start button.

Good afternoon,

Does the security light go out after about 10 seconds? If it stays on, the security system may be set and needs to be reset.

Can you check the battery voltage?

I also included a wiring diagram for the starting system. Do you have a test light or voltmeter to do some testing?
