When try to start 2001 buick park ave ultra it just goes click, click, click, click, click, ect. What is the problem?

Asked by Joeystrum Dec 12, 2016 at 08:13 PM about the 2001 Buick Park Avenue Ultra FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The car has a brand new battery in it and when I put the new battery in it started right up. Now that I have left it sit for a few days the clicking occurs as I mentioned in the question. I put a battery charger on it for 15 minutes and it starts up but with a little bit of resistance. Could the body control module have anything to do with this problem?

Sounds like a bad battery connection. Clean and tighten the battery cable ends and the terminals and try it again.

They are clean. I even hook the battery cables right to the side post of the battery. I am thinking about removing the both battery cables and cut them open to see if they are corroded inside, including the small red and black wire.
