kameron253 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 My 1992 SC400's ground gets hot when i put the key in and it also won't start but it clicks when i turn the key. Anyone have advice for this, i need my car fixed and i don't know what the problem is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navylexman Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 have you checked the battery terminals for any corrosion? if your car is just clicking that sounds like the starter isnt getting enough power, check your battery connections and see if your battery has enough juice....

navylexman Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 well if you dont have a voltage tester or a battery charger the best way to find out if the battery has a charge or is still good is to take it to an auto parts store.....

navylexman Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 yup!! that should fix most of it... but start with a new battery, your starter could still be ok... if you get a new battery and the starter is still clicking than you would prob need a new starter than..
