So my car decided it did want to start yesterday. Instrument panel turned on but when I tried to start the car all I got was a click, just one. Decided to replace the battery since the previous owner bought it back in 08 but I still have the same problem. I am thinking it is the starter or the solenoid since it is just one click. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The problem happened once two months ago and again earlier this week but it would always start after a couple of tries. What is the best way to change the starter, from underneath or under the intake? Thanks for all of the advise so far, it is much appreciated.

So I replaced the starter, but while I was in there I noticed that I have a wire near the starter that isn't connected to anything. I have attached a picture of the wire. The wire is black and green. Anyone know what this is for? I haven't tried to start the car yet. I would like to know if this wire is supposed to be connected to the starter first. Thanks for the help gentlemen. The install went quick, 50 mins.
