OK about a month ago my car died, turns out the starter needed replaced. I got a new starter installed, and it worked great. Now this morning I get in my car after it sat all weekend without being started and when I turn the key there is just a rapid clicking noise. It doesn't sound like the same sound as when the starter needed replaced. When it was the starter, it would click just a couple of times. Now it clicks really fast as long as the key is turned to start. Any ideas of what this could be? Whatever it is, it sucks.

. If it's the main relay (under the dash, not the starter solenoid) that's clicking, it may be the computer is bad. Be sure and read sections A and B below:

If the Check Engine Light stays on, when the ignition switch is turned to ON, perform the K-Test to see if your ECM is bad. Also, check all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter.

. If it's the starter solenoid (relay) that's clicking, then you likely have a bad battery:
