The car clicks but won’t start. Is it the battery?

Fast clicking while the dashboard dims can point to a weak starter battery. One firm click with a bright dashboard can have other causes. Tell us what you hear so we can start with the right check.

One click or several?

Watch what the dashboard does during the attempt. Repeated clicks with fading lights are different from an engine that cranks at its normal speed. Mention whether starting has become slower over the last few days, or whether the car has been parked for a long time.

Will a jump start help?

A jump start may be the right first step if the battery cannot supply enough power to turn the starter. A click can also come from the starter circuit when the battery is healthy. If the engine cranks normally and never fires, say so. Use your own vehicle handbook for any instructions about an external power source.

What does a Stockholm recovery driver need?

Give the model, the sound you hear and the car’s actual location. In an underground garage, the entrance address and level matter more than the street address of the building above. If you need a jump start in Stockholm, we can begin with those details. Our guide to starting problems covers what else to look for.
