C5 not turning over
I have a C5 2004 6sp, Battery seems fine but when I turn the key to start, nothing. I do hear a repeating clicking when the key is turned to start. Ideas please.
Thanks
Rick

what makes you think the battery is fine if you hear a clicking? That’s usually a tell tale sign of a dead battery.

Remove your battery and have it tested at your local auto parts store, if battery tests good, check your connections at the starter solenoid before you connect the battery back up. Is the clicking you are hearing coming from the passenger footwell area where the TDR is located above the BCM, or is it coming from the engine compartment. If the clicking is coming from the engine compartment that means your connections at the starter solenoid are loose or the starter solenoid is going bad, you can get a long wooden broom handle or similar object and smack your starter while someone tries to start it.
