So my fiance's 2004 Saturn VUE clicks when she trys to start it. I'm thinking its the starter but I was gonna pull the battery and run it up the street to autozone to make sure the battery is good. Is it worth checking the battery?

Yeah, a fairly dead battery could result in the car making a click noise when starting. It at least rules it out as something that's dying.

6/11/2008 10:24:02 PM

You should be unmodded a girl should even know this.

yes check the battery. If it were the starter then you wouldn't even get the clicking sound.

new battery, get a jumpoff and run it up there. Hopefully they've got enough sense to properly install the battery for you

if its still the original battery, i can asuure you its done, gm uses the best batteries of any us manufacturer, but 4-6 years is about it, the ac delcos are tough, the damn motorcraft batteries struggles to make it 2-3 years, cheap ass bastards
