So ive been have some problems with my car. At first my car would tick alot when i tried to turn it on so i thought i had a dead battery, then i jump started it and let it charge for a while and instantly after i turned it off it would just tick alot when i tried to start it. so i thought that my battery was done with so i put in a new one. same problem just constant ticking when i tried to start it. then i thought my alternator went bad so i jumped my car and let it sit and unpluged my battery and it still was running so my alternator is good.

Any ideas on what the problem is?

Most likely loose cables / wires on the battery, alternator and/or starter. Also check the main grounds at the battery tray and on the engine intake manifold.

Take the starter into an advance or parts store and have them test it. Sounds like the starter could be on its way out.
