So a couple times i tried to start my car and sometimes all i got was a click no start and i jump started it and it started up. Today i installed some speakers in my car and tried to jump it again but it clicks and just makes some buzz noise coming from the engine? This happened before too but a jump fixed the problem today it wouldnt. Could it be the started solenoid? Let me know thanks

Two of my alternators went out N when each did it made that clicking sound you said. As soon as a good one was on started right up.
