If it still doesn't start, have someone tap the starter with a hammer (lightly) as you push the start button. This is probably where the clicking is coming from. Your symptoms sound like a bad starter. If tapping the starter works, don't shut it off and drive to a mechanic
I have checked and cleaned the cables, but still nothing changed. i've heard about tapping the solenoid, but i dont know how it actually looks like, could you show me where is it please ?
