clicking noise. Alternator ? (1 Viewer)

[hiluxsurf]

Tried to start the truck today and it initially turned over but then I got the clicking noise from the starter. Replaced the battery but no joy. Is it safe to assume that the alternator is shot ?

Did you have the same klicking noise from the starter after replacing the battery??If so,i would suspect the startermotor contacts.

I would have to agree that it is the starter.

check your grounds first. if they're corroded, take em off and clean em up and put it back together tight. also check continuity of your fuse links....do easy stuff first, then move on to harder more expensive things. FYI, starter contactor kits are available....or at least, they used to be.....

Yep. Ok, I will look into the starter contacts. Tnks.

Please check the easy stuff first as Lambcrusher stated!
