Well. parts arriving for my car every other day. today i tried to start it and got nothing. Battery is fine. all i hear is a slight click. past couple of weeks ive been getting weak starts. kinda hesitates before even starting the other day. Have to even turn the key 2 or 3 times before it starts. but now all i hear is a small click. and will not even crank over. any one seen this issue before?

Once you are sure battery is fine either by replacement or jumping from another running car [with suitable gigantic cables [no el cheapos with thinner wire than your thumb]], then you replace starter relay.

First off, how many volts are in the battery? It shouls be full or it won't crank. You could have a starter problem. need more details.

just tap on the starter relay a few times with a screw driver.

its the only light blue relay in the back left corner of the engine compartment.

thats a good start, as well as voltage and amp draw.

to read into it more seach under starter relay or no start.
