Your first project is to clean battery terminals and then recharge the battery and mak sure its OK ...if clickin is still ther its proably the stater if all connection are good.

Battery might be almost dead. Give it a charge. Sounds simple but th ticking is the relays getting and losing power.

Hello, The simple answer is to go to your local scrapyard and find a replacement starter motor !...It's not hard to replace just a matter of three bolts and you can remove the old unit...Should take approx 15-20mins to replace.
