Ignition Failing

[Steev2]

Hey Guys...

So last few times i have gone to start to my car it didn't first time i started my car. Till the other day, it would not turn over at all... Just keep clicking... The weird part is i turn the key once... wait 2 mins or so then it allows it to turn over...?

I have checked the battery, tried the spare key just incase it was something wrong with the key, it cant be the starter motor or it wouldn't turn over at all but very well could be...

Open to suggestions. Need helps please guys!

How old is the battery?

How old is the battery?

Unsure. I checked the battery and it was still fully charged. I even changed the battery over with a mates one from his car that's the same type but still no luck. That's why I believe its not the battery

Can't edit via my phone but I got the battery tested too

So you get in and turn the key and it just goes click and doesn't turn over?
My guess is an issue with the starter motor as you said the battery is ok.

Sounds like starter solenoid not engaging.

Try giving it a 'calibrated tap' with a hammer, whilst someone turns the ignition to crank.
