Had the whole one click crank issue, tested starter and needed a new one. Bought and installed new starter and car started up 4 or 5 times but never drove. Today go to start and back to one click crank issue?

Hi,

Most commonly, that is related to a bad connection. Do me a favor, double check the battery terminals and their conditions. Check to make sure they are clean and tight and not corroded. Also, check the cables themselves as well as the main ground to the engine block from the battery,

Here is a link you may find helpful:

Let me know what you find.

Take care,
