I just replaced battery and solenoid and car started twice and then heard some noise possibly from the starter and then put back in parking spot and will not start again. You can hear the Solenoid click but will not start. Any help would be great. Coul it be possible that something is connected wrong?

Thanks.

Is it possible that one of the wires is not on the correct post of the solenoid? I'm just looking for a couple of more ideas, I find it weird that it would start twice and then just die out and just hear click, click.

Try that 1st and report back-doing that should kick the starter.also do this when you jump it-put a test light on the other side of the relay-the light should lit at the same time jumping it. If not the relay is bad
