Sounds like your starter went bad? Im not exaly sure, have it tested at a autoparts store. Good Luck!

Did you have the battery tested, make sure you do that before testing the starter, easier to take out.

Same problem as the start of this string, only thing is, I replaced the starter relay and the starter. I did this maybe a week ago. Now I have the same problem as before. It just goes "click". I know that the battery is good, the starter better be good (it's brand new and so is the starter relay). Could it be anything else? I have the Haynes manual, but it was wrong last time. I don't think that the relay was bad.

Turns out that I had a loose connection. The ground lead on the starter was tightened down, but the washer was too big and not making the connection properly. I wish I hadn't pondered over it so long. I like it when it's an easy fix.
