If it clicks but doesn’t turn there either isn’t enough current getting to the starter or the starter or solenoid is bad.  Could be a bad ignition switch too that’s limiting current.

 

Rebuilt OEM starters are notorious for failing.  I’ve switched to the Go Westy gear reduction starter now.

Yes, automatic, no remote starter.

I'm guessing it's an auto other wise you'd push start it. Have a remote starter switch? You could bypass the ing switch & it's assorted wiring.

Getting AAA to drag Lola home. But cannot figure out why she worked great all day, but tried to start her after parked for 20min and nothing.

Battery seems to be fine.
Starter replaced last year.
I hear a click back at the starter but no turnover.

Previous problem that is likely related. Since the new starter, turn the key, one turn, pause and then it turns again and starts no problem.

Any ideas!!?? Anything that can get me started before the tie truck gets here?

Note just filled the tank,
