numerous times when I tried to start the car it wouldn't turnover if I tried a few times it would start. Now it has finally not started there is a click in the dash when I turn the key to start. I think it might be the starter not sure. Before I crawl under the car could you tell me starter location and any trouble shooting tips. Thanks
 


starter location is under the front side of where the trans and enging bolt up on the underside
are your headlightsbrite and when you turn the key they dim?
 


yeah man its a simple job, but if you dont have a shop to do it, and its cold outside, just whack it with a hammer a couple of times that should get you by for a little bit. Mine lasted for 3 months like that EDIT - never mind you live in friggin hawaii it aint cold there
 


if his alternator is bad... battery wont hold charge... ive seen cases where jumping off a car with a bad alternator wasnt enough to turn over, hence why he is hearing a clicking sound.... try a different battery and see what happens... if it starts pull a battery cable and see if it still runs.
