Angry Car Won't Sart!!! AHHHH

Well I'm having trouble starting my car. All I get is a clicking noise from the starter solenoid when I try to start it... The battery was low, so we tried jumping it, it wouldn't start, and it was getting plenty of juice...hmmm what could it be? I also might have put ON the starter solenoid backwards...could it of shorted out the battery along with anything else? and also, how many fuselinks are there on the car and where??? THANKS!!!

George

I would just put a new or different battery in there and see if it starts. I had a similar problem before .. it was driving me crazy and I just said screw it, and put a new battery in. Started fine. Though yours may be a different problem. I dont know anything about starter solenoids

Are you talking about the fuses underneath the dash on the left side of the steering wheel?

sounds like you hooked something up wrong on the solenoid... it's not a battery problem if you tried to jump it with another car and it still wouldn't fire. Although if the jumper connection cables aren't on very good, they won't transfer enough power.

If you suspect a solenoid issue here's a pic of mine...not that great, but it wasn't originally a picture of the solenoid, if you need a better one, let me know, I'd be happy to take one real quick
