First it is best to take your battery terminals off and clean the inside of the terminals and posts. This is a typical problem that occurs often on many cars. I would do that before replacing a starter. Since it makes a clicking sound, that says that the starter solenoid is getting voltage to it; but if it isn't enough, voltage, it won't crank over, so try cleaning the terminals and posts first and have the battery tested if it doesn't work after that.First it is best to take your battery terminals off and clean the inside of the terminals and posts.
