This car is nightmare. I put an a/c compressor in about a week ago. in my home garage so you know how far i had to dig. car has sit for ~4-5 months. so last fuel i put in it was in summer months.

Anyways i put a new battery in on sunday night. Car ran great. Drove it today on a long run about 45 miles. Go to get back in the car and i only get the click from the solenoid. It is in a parking lot and i need to move it. I think it is probably the solenoid itself but wanted to see if anyone else had thoughts. Also when i was waiting for a ride to pick me up i checked all fuses. 1 fuse under the dash that said on the box ac/acc was blown i believe that was the one.

Any help?

check your battery cable both at the battery positive post & at the starter motor ,starter motor end may be loose ,u can also jump start right at the starter motor if u know how to ,& this check is only if u r just getting clicking & providing that your battery is good & the alternator is charging ,good luck ,post back after u check positive cable .
