What are the reasons for the Wuling Zhiguang failing to start and making a clicking sound?
2 Answers
Below are three scenarios for the Wuling Zhiguang failing to start and making a clicking sound:1. First scenario: If there is no problem initially, but the starting time gradually increases until one day it suddenly fails to start, this is likely an issue with the engine's ignition system or fuel supply system. In this case, professional automotive repair services should be sought.2. Second scenario: If the ignition starts normally but suddenly fails one day, it is most likely a battery issue. It could be due to a drained battery or insufficient voltage, requiring assistance from a professional.3. Third scenario: If the headlights function normally, it is mostly likely an open circuit in the solenoid switch's protective coil inside the starter motor. In this case, the starter motor solenoid switch needs to be replaced.
I've been repairing cars for over 20 years and have frequently encountered situations where the Wuling Zhiguang won't start and just makes a clicking sound. That clicking noise usually comes from the starter relay operating, but the engine doesn't respond. The most common causes are a dead battery or one that's reached the end of its lifespan. If the battery is old or leaking, the starter will only click a few times without being able to turn the flywheel. You can try turning on the headlights to check their brightness - if they're dim, it confirms insufficient power. Quickly use jumper cables to borrow power from a friend's car. Starter motor failures are also common. Worn internal carbon brushes or rusty contacts can easily cause repeated clicking without the engine turning over. Fuel system issues like a faulty fuel pump or clogged fuel filter may also prevent the car from starting. I recommend first using a multimeter to check the battery voltage - if it's below 12 volts, don't force a start. If you can't find tools, try jump starting; if that doesn't work, replacing the starter isn't expensive. Wuling Zhiguang repair parts are affordable - don't ignore the clicking sound. Fix it early for peace of mind to avoid roadside breakdowns causing trouble.
