Hey everyone, I’m having an issue where my starter is clicking on my car.
Things I’ve done so far:
Batt12.56v
Starter 12.56v
Relay replaced with jumper
Clutch switch disconnected
Starter bench tested at local auto parts store
Jump started.

so out of all of that the car still just clicks when you turn the key. The battery is relocated to the trunk but I’ve never had this issues before. This all happened after a pretty aggressive boosted launch. Any help or ideas is appreciated. Thank you
 
Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you guys know I ran a 2 gauge ground from the upper starter bolt, cleaned everything up with new connectors and she fires up like a dream!! Thank you all for helping me figure out this incredibly annoying issue!!!

Great! And congratulations - you now have 2 starters just like most of the rest of us! 😉

Im currently battling the same issue after I ran my battery in the trunk. Where did you run the 2 gauge ground from the upper starter bolt to?
 
I would HIGHLY suggest you guys ground your engine directly to your battery. Injectors, sensors, coils etc all need a very good ground. If I had a trunk mounted battery, it would most definitely have a dedicated engine ground. Just my .02¢

So I just ran it to the fire wall where the horn used to sit. I also have another 2 gauge ground under the back seat to one of the seat belt bolts. Just make sure everything is clean metal on metal and you should be good
