When i try to start my '94 ceilca i just get a click every time i try. I think this is the solenoid. or the relay. I'm just not sure where either of these are located in the engine bay. If someone could kindly post a pic or a good description I would appreciate it very much

Thanks

If all your dash lights come on and the radio works and everything, I'm with the others, it's probably your starter. If nothing comes on at all, then ya gotta dead battery; make sure your alternator is still good once you get your battery charged or else you'll just kill another battery. I think Autozone can even check to see if your alternator has a good charge. A lot of places will check it for free though.

Where are you located? I got a new starter put in my ST right when I bought it, cost me $135 out the door which is pretty good considering the part is around $100.

Even you have enough power to power up everything in your car, it might not be enough to crank the engine.
This happened to my other car.
Fast clicking is a result of a low voltage at the starter motor/solenoid
Try jump starting and see if the clicking goes away.
Or Bring the battery to Autozone for free diagnosis.
If everything else is good, try tapping on the starter.
