The reasons for hearing a clicking sound when starting the car but it doesn't start are: 1. Lack of fuel; 2. Spark plug failure; 3. Incorrect gear position—automatic transmissions need to be in P or N gear to start, while manual transmissions won't start if the clutch isn't pressed; 4. Battery issues or complete depletion of power; 5. Carbon buildup in the engine cylinders. As a wearable part that requires regular replacement, a car battery typically lasts 3 to 4 years, with some higher-performance batteries lasting even longer. Damage to the battery's charge is often caused by the owner's long-term incorrect usage habits, such as using electronic devices in the car for extended periods without starting the engine, which significantly reduces the battery's lifespan.
