Engine Performance problem
2006 Ford Escape 6 cyl Automatic 139000 miles

My car only starts up with a JUMP. I have a brand new battery and have been told it could be the alternator or starter? After the car dies once I try and start it up it makes a clicking sound...

No crank at all/nothing/nada:

Could be the starter, starter relay, clutch switch/park and neutral switch and ignition switch assuming the battery and connections are good.
