96 s-10 not starting - clicking noise
Ive had my 96 s10 2.2 LS 5spd for about 4 years now. About a year ago it started to die intermittantly while i was driving, and occassionaly would not start at all. This was fixed by a simple adjustment of the red battery cable- if i pulled it up a little it would start fine and run again for a few weeks. I would have to do this 2-3 times a month.
About 3 weeks it was doing this about every day, increasingly until it just wouldnt start at all. At first when I tried to turn the ignition, the speedometer would jump up wildly and a loud clicking could be heard from the left side of the dash. Now i can just open the door and it will click at me, and when i turn the ignition, nothing happens except for the clicking stops!
When i jump the battery, it will run fine until i turn it off. It doesnt seem to be holding a charge at all. Not even for 1 min. I can charge the battery all the way, and if I turn turn the truck off, there is no chance of it starting back up. It just clicks at me. The clicking is really fast and continues until I try the ignition a few times, which is when it will cease to responsive AT ALL.
Any ideas, suggestions? All are appreciated, Thanks.
