This problem just started happining. When I start the car it it does'nt start but makes a clicking noise. All the dash warning lights flash as well as it makes the clicking noise! If I keep trying to start it eventually it does start. I am pretty sure it could be a few different things such as (battery, battery water levels, starter, or solinoid.)?

It sounds like a bad solenoid. Remove the starter and have it bench tested at a parts store. If the solenoid is bad, replace it. Or, it is easier and not that much more to replace the entire starter.

It was the negative battery post. It was corroded! I couldn't see it cause my battery is in the fender well under the air filter. Thanks for your response though.
