You turn the ignition and the engine makes a rapid “click-click-click-click”.
This is likely a faulty battery that is having difficulty
sending power to the starter. Even though some lights and
the radio may still work, this doesn't necessarily mean that the
battery will have enough power to start the engine.
You turn the ignition and the engine makes a single “click”.
This is likely a problem with the starter.
The engine turns over as if it's going to start, but never begins running on its
own.
This is likely caused by a problem with the ignition system, or
could even be a fuel related issue.
The engine turns over slower than
normal and never begins running.
This problem can be caused by a weak battery, bad connections,
or a problem with the ignition or fuel systems.
You turn the ignition and it doesn’t do anything.
You probably have a dead battery, bad battery cable connections, or a bad
starter. Keep in mind that dead batteries can often be associated with a faulty alternator that has drained the charge out of the battery.
