My Car All The Sudden Wont Start When I Turn To Key They Lights And Stuff Turn On But It Wont Even Try To Turn Over It Just Clicks Any Suggestions? Starter Switch Maybe Or Something Is Theere A Way I Can Find Out Wats Wrong??
 
If the starter isnt even turning, it is a voltage or electrical issue. Check all connectors on the starter. Power, Ground. There is also a 1 wire connector on the starter that has to be connected in order for the starter to crank.
 
If the starter is just making clicking noises, it sounds like it's a dead battery. You can have lights and accessories work because those things don't draw nearly as much current as the starter trying to crank the motor.

Double check your negative cable as well. If it's loose when you try to crank your motor, it'll just kill everything when you turn the key.
 
it could also be the starter.....if it is just a click when you turn the key, usually means the starter is bad, its just throwing the shaft out, but not spinning...pull the starter and have it tested at any auto parts store.......if it is a bunch of constant clicks then you might want to check the battery and the cables
 
well it used to start like 30% of the time now it wont at all and i think its the starter too but i just had it replaced in january along with the alternater in febuary? so what wires could be loose and pulling the starter is so hard on my car its barried!!! OMG
