For safety, first disconnect the negative battery cable. Then safely raise and support the vehicle. Remove the electrical connector protective cover and disconnect the starter motor electrical connectors. Remove the oxygen sensor. Detach the oxygen sensor harness elctrical connector. Disconnect the ground cable at the starter mounting bolt. Remove the harness retaining bracket and remove starter motor. To install, reverse the removal procedures. A diagram to help you locate the starter is below.

The lights come on and so does the radio. The battery is not the issue. When I try starting the car it clicks so I am assuming it is either the alternator or the starter.
