Ok,once a thing is fixed,more problems occur. Start motor just click's when trying to start,batteri in use holds over 14v so that is ok. Is the starter done,or is it something simple to fix?

Is it really the starter that clicks, or the solenoid that your hearing?

Check all your battery cable connections on both the battery and the motor for being good, clean and tight.

probably the solenoid since you ask that way:) Should i switch the solenoid with another one to see if that solves the problem?

Test the starter. Connect it to a known strong battery and jump it with a set of automotive jumper cables. If it cranks normal rpm's, the starter is ok. Then look at the solenoid, battery, or key switch.

I removed the starter,and connected jumper cables directly on it,first it sparked and after that one time,no reaction at all from it,yes battery is full,thats for sure. Have to get another starter then,beacause it is the solenoid that clicks right?
