What I'm saying is that when I turn the key to the start position I get only a click. The click appears to be coming from around the passenger side kick panel. If I repeatedly turn the key from the "ON" position to the "Start" position it will eventually crank and start normally. Does that help clarifiy?


Yes. That is the same area as the starter. Would you say it is a "clunk" instead of a "click"
