my 98 Isuzu Rodeo won't start. The engine tries to turn over, the it just clicks. All my radio presets have been reset. I had a starter installed on July 21st of this year and the battery is less than a year old.

Accepted Answer

hi XXXXXXX, I know you just replaced your starter, but a click usually means a bad starter, but before we come to that conclusion, you must check all of your connections from the battery , to the alternator, down to the sarter, for weak connections, corrosion, and bad wiring, also you may want to check the starter relay. those connections have to be really thoroughly clean and tight, you must check the wires itself by gently bending them to and fro, to feel if there is corrosion inside the wire

thanx
