Tried starting 2001 Solara this morning and all I got was clicking. All the lights and radio came on but just clicking. Is this the alternator? Thanks.

Hi flash218,

Maybe alternator, but only clicking means the starter is not working.

You need to check battery voltage and high rate discharge. If jump starting works, then you need to check if alternator charging is good.

If jump starting don't work, it might be the starter.
