I have replaced the starter before on it not more than a year and half ago. I have had some issues with it not starting immediately over the last week where it would have a delay after switching over the key before the engine would start. Though last night with the cold weather I tried to switch it over and it would not start, it just makes a clicking sound. All the lights on the inside are working, radio, etc. Though once you go to switch over the ignition it just makes like a clicking sound and all the lights flicker in and out before it just decides not to start. I am not sure if its the starter, or ignition, battery, wiring, so what can I do and what do you think is most likely?

The battery has got to be good, even a new one can go/be bad.

You can attempt to charge it/ or remove it and take it to a popular auto parts store for a full check up, this is usually a free service.

Before you jump on that.

Read through my answers in this long boring link with pictures below. there is a link within it near the end that might aid you with the money end of this, should things not turn out to be easy.

If you are really confident with your battery's condition, you might try the stuff in the link before you remove the battery.

Let's hear some good news!
