Clicking sound when trying to start your car
We just took a reservation for 2 cars for a period of 3-4 years today.
We’ve been storing this beautiful Cadillac for about a year now. Recently it has given us an issue where the starter is clicking when you attempt to fire the engine up.
We sometimes run into this…especially older vehicles with larger engines. In fact we had this same issue with a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette with a 427.
The intermediate cause of this issue is the starter not having enough power to turn the motor over. The root cause can include any of the following:
loose battery cables
Corroded battery cables
Bad ground strapping
Bad positive battery cable
Low or dead battery
Bad starter
Bad starter Solenoid
The list goes on and on….
Usually in our experience, a weak battery is the culprit. In those cases it is advisable to either replace or charge the battery.
Make sure you understand this before you store your car!
