Can dead battery cause starter to click?
It might be a battery or alternator problem. If the source of the clicking is electrical, the starter (a small motor energized by the battery that gets the engine running) doesn’t have enough juice to stay powered. So instead, it rapidly turns on and off and produces a clicking noise!
Why is my starter making a clicking noise?
The clicking sound could happen when the starter motor isn’t receiving enough power due to corroded battery terminals. The clicking sound could also be due to a frayed wire or loose battery cable ends. Loose battery ends can interfere with the connection, preventing the vehicle from starting.
