I got the swap in and when I go to start it up the starter just clicks. it is the starter clicking not the relay. The battery is old and could bef the issue, my clock and radio lights shut off or dim when I try to start the sr and the starter clicks continuesly. Is this a battery, ground or starter issue? Im going to try a
new battery tomorrow but wanted to see if anyome else had the same issue
Thanks in advance

+1....i'ts most likely your battery for sure. But definately check all your grounds and harness grounds while your at it.

okay so picked up a brand new battery today, put it in checked all grounds and cleaned them all up. still will not start... we push started it for the very first startup and the car fired right up. the starter just clicks continuesly and does not turn the engine over.. im guessing i need a new starter any other ides?
thank

check your power wire to your starter an the other wires. if that doesnt work than pull the starter an have it tested. i had the same problem. wound up being wires

okay i lied hah i tried running a ground from the starter motor to the chassis and it turned over? i guess i just needed another ground but i didnt think i would have to add one that isnt in the harness

See if your power wire to the starter is connected, mine falls off randomly.

(EDIT) saw you made a ground, just check ALL your grounds and maybe add a extra one or 2.
