I changed the battery today because the old one wouldn't hold a charge, and was cracked. After I put in the new one it was doing the same thing, the solenoid just click-click. Could the new battery not be charged all the way, or could there be another problem. Thanks for your answers.

New batteries are normally charged. I would look at a bad cable or a bad, dirty ground cable. Bad,dirty cable going to the starter. It could even be a bad solenoid or starter. Good luck.

Could be the alternator/starter. If not maybe the carbon may be gone and its not charging the battery when the car is on.

most new batteries are fully charged and ready to go off the shelf... but there is Always a chance to buy a defective one.. they should at least test it before sending you out the door.. take it back and have them load test it.. if it passes then you have a connection problem or starter problem

Check the connection, sounds like your not making a good connection, wire brush the terminals, if not you might need a selinoid/voltage regulator replaced. Different on each cars but thats a general rule of thumb.

You have a bad cable. Check both battery cables and their connections. Something isnt making a solid connection somewhere.

sometimes the cable builds resistance, make sure you have 12volts at the starter, if you do, your starter is most like fully bad
