When trying to start the car it just does a click click click sound. I have replaced the starter, battery and negative battery cable. It still only does the click click click when trying to start it.

Hello,

This sounds like it could be a problem with your battery. You said you replaced it but let's confirm that it hasn't been drained from trying to start the vehicle. Could you take a voltage reading across the terminals for me. You will need a multi-meter to do this so I have included a link down below for you to go to if you are unfamiliar with how to use one.

Please get back to us with your reading and we will go from there.

Thanks,
