MY CAR WONT START I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR 2 TIMES (AND ONCE AGAIN JUST RECENTLY (3 TIMES NOW)), HAD NEW FUEL PUMP REPLACED LAST YEAR, NEW BATTERY JUST LAST WEEK. WHEN I TURN THE KEY IT JUST CLICKS ONCE, AND DOESN'T TURN OVER. I WAS THINKING IT MAY BE THE STARTER ( I TRIED TAPPING IT BUT STILL NO RESULTS) HOW WOULD I KNOW IF THATS THE PROBLEM? I ALSO CHECKED ALL THE FUSES NONE ARE BLOWN. I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE IT COULD BE. PLEASE HELP.I GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

F you hear a click, then either the battery is weak, or the starter, possibly bad battery cable connections, check and clean both ends of BOTH cables! Dissconnect negative(-) first, and put it on last! If no click the starter relay is no good!
