click, nothing, lights are still on.

Sounds like the starter is going bad but vefore u replace ut, follow these steps. Check the battery cables for corrosion and make sure they're tight, don't forget the one by the starter. If cables are ok, check battery voltage,it should be minimum 12.4. check voltage signal at the starter solenoid as you try to start it, if voltage is present and still doen't start, replace starter. If no voltage present, trace back to, relay, neutral switch or ignition switch. It's not the fuse since it's intermittent problem
