Hey everyone, I’m having a frustrating issue with my Toyota Corolla, and I’m hoping someone here can help me out. Whenever I try to start the car, all I get is this annoying clicking noise, and the engine won’t turn over at all. I thought it might be the battery at first, so I checked that—battery’s fine, no corrosion on the terminals, and all the lights and electronics are working as they should.
I’ve read that a clicking noise can sometimes mean the starter’s going bad, but I’m not sure if it could be something else, like a bad relay or maybe even the alternator? Has anyone else run into this problem?
If it’s the starter, how did you go about fixing it? Is it something I could DIY, or should I bite the bullet and take it to a mechanic? And if it’s not the starter, what else could it be? I’m hoping it’s not anything too major. I’m open to any tips or advice you all might have. Thanks!
