2000STI7

Got in my scoob this morning JDM MY01 STI and it would not start. Engine does not turn over it just makes a rapidly repeating clicking sound, the battery has enough power to put windows up and down. Tried a search but no joy, any ideas?
Thanks,
Paul.

Clicking sound.... my guess would be battery! even if has enough to use windows it may still not have anough to turn motor ova!!..or..your starter motor is stickin!!!.. thats where i would head for first anyways!! cheers hope u sort it!!

definately the battery. It's got enough power to throw the solenoid but as soon as it makes contact and tries to turn the starter motor, all the power drains and it hasn't got enough to power the solenoid anymore.
Solenoid goes back and there's enough power again. So it throws the solenoid...
etc etc...



Hence clicking sound...

Thanks for that, I've put the battery on charge and it has started, I'll get the battery tested tomorrow.
