so the other day i went to my backyard (yes i park my car in the back yard so i can work on it and stuff) and i went to start it and back it up a little. (it was parked near the pool and my dad was putting up the fence again around teh pool and my car was in the way) the next day (today) i go and try to start the car again... nothing. when i press teh clutch and turn the ignition all i get is one little click. all my lights come on. my dash has the "check engine light" on, the Oil light on, and the battery light on. im baffled here as what to do now. its charging through a charger right now and has been for about half an hour. can someone help me out?

one click usually means that your starter has gone out. Im sure your battery is fine.One click means starters badrapid clicking means your battery is bad

i just replaced my starter on my ka24de. if you lookf from the passenger side in the engine bay, the starter is under where the alternator is but to the left (so towards the back of the engine compared to the alternator). it comes off with 2 long bolts and of course the cable have to be removed also.

Dont replace your starter just yet. There are some fuses under the hood. Check those first. I was having that same issue in my 91 240 and it turned out to be a fuse that was about 10 bucks.
