Unhappy My 2001 Chevy Blazer wont start, just clicks

Hello

I have a 2001 Chevy Blazer. The starter engine wont start, I can hear a clicking like sound and the fuel pump. I was having hard time to start the car lately. Battery voltage looks ok. What should I do? Please help me, I am a student and this is my only transportation.

Thanks...

if she turns over again your gonna need a new starter

you just need to bang on it slightly not like a crazy person

first i would check that your battery voltage is at least 11.5v-12.6v if that checks out fine, than i would look at wiring for loose/corroded connections if thats fine than i would tap the starter and see if she turns over like stated above.

Battery voltage is 12.6 V, but the crank does not turn at all. The starter just clicks, nothing else... I also today tried to jumpstart it and did not work. And I took a video for better description.

Hello again...

Today I replaced the starter but nothing changed. New one just clicks like the old one. I also checked the voltage between 2 electrical inputs of the starter, When i do nothing it is 13Vs, when switch the key to A position it is 11 Vs and when it clicks, it is -9Vs. Is it normal? Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hey

I know your problem, I'm having the same problem to and I am also a student with my blazer as the only form of transportation. I have an external battery charger that plugs into the cig outlet. That works every time. Just a thought. Good luck!!!
