I have a 2008 Ford Focus in good condition however the past 3 days my car hasnt started. I took it to a shop and they tested my battery, alternator and starter and they all tested in good condition. Sometimes when i try and turn it on it just clicks and other times it acts like its going to turn on and then it just doesnt. What else could the problem be?

Run thru all of your BIG cable connections

Actually take them loose--any type connector---Wire brush the surfaces, REPLACE, and tighten well

Includes both ends of Grounds and Positive Wires leaving the Battery (EVEN WIRE CLAMPS THAT HOLD THE WIRE TO THE TERMINAL CLAMPS) and the BIG posts of the Solenoid---and the Starter connections

PASS NOTHING BY AS: "IT LOOKS GOOD FROM OVER HERE!!!"

LET ME KNOW IF I'M YOUR BUDDY NOW!
