The car all of a sudden would not crank/start. I had the battery checked, 100% good. Last time I drove the car everything was fine. Everything lights up as usual before start then it'll just 'click' at start. All battery terminals are checked and cleaned for calcine or corrosion. Fuses in the box are all good. Kindly, what might have caused this failure and what is the problem itself?

When you try to crank, watch the lites, do they go out-- dim--flutter, anything? Some of the national brand autostores will test the starter for you. You have to take it off and take it to them. You could check the voltage circuits at the starter relay?

This evening I tried it again. For some reason it did start. I will get the car checked immediately. Thanks for your advice.
