No start - New battery

No start - New battery
The car's battery was dead, i had weak lights and slow crank and no start.
While charging, the rapid clicking while attempting to start, suddenly didn't happen anymore. I held the key in the start position for five seconds to attempt it to turn over.
So I bought a new battery, which is fully charged and there's no turnover and no rapid clicking. Only a single click is heard.
Has my starter died?

If you are handy with tools then you can tackle it yourself and pick up a starter at your local parts store. If you are not DIY guy then get it towed into your favorite mechanic and he can verify whats wrong. Good luck!

Only other thing could be it is hitting the plate and just stopping and not getting on the wheel gear.
It is a auto or manual? Can you try moving it in gear slightly?

The nuts are rusted.
I was sure not to overheat the starter, with only applying the key to the ON position for a few seconds.
I'll try to DIY this.
Has anyone done this job?
- Jack up one side of the car at the jack point
- Two bolts
- Plug and play to replace?
Thanks for your responses.

There is evidence for a loose connection @ the battery port. Wiggling the wires does cut the power ( realized by the hood lamp ).

Are you talking about starter removal or battery removal? Did you fix the loose battery wire? Which nuts are rusted? Battery?

Search youtube for starter removal/replacement for your vehicle or something close.
Eletrical connector, and there may or may not be 2 shims. Note how they go. The outer bolt holds it in place, the inner bolt it should slide over.

Might want to check to see if voltage is getting to the starter, could be a bad cable....also see if voltage is getting to the starter solenoid when the key is turned.... check all fuses and make sure they are all good...

Always do the simple things first. Ensure that the wiring and connections are good, clean and free of corrosion. Make sure that all the relays are working. As far as starter replacement there are videos online that can help you.
