I have a 2015 Honda Fit, got my battery changed in July 2018, start push button replaced by Honda in Dec 2018, replaced my starter in May 2019 at around 46000 miles.

This Tuesday and Wednesday, there was a clicking sound when i started my car in the morning. it starts fine. Definitely will come back to the auto repair that I got my starter replaced to check out and see what is going on. But just want some idea and please let me know if you hear the sound familiar.

 

When does the clicking sound occur (example: key on to start position, 5 click sounds, then starter winds up, starter winds for 7 seconds, then car starts....), for how long, and what happens after? The battery might "hold a charge" but if the battery capacity is low, your starter will not engage (hence the click).

 

I can add to this, I've had it a couple times, including just this morning:

The vehicle starts absolutely normally and idles fine. About 10 seconds in, there is a repetitive, fast, loud "clicking" (I can hear it over music set at volume 30-35) that sounds like it is coming from directly behind the middle air vents. It stops after about 3-4 seconds. This whole cycle seems to repeat a few times (about every 30 seconds,) then just stops.

No engine irregularity while this is occurring, and it doesn't sound like the "grinding" from VTC actuator posts. I'm running to the dealership here in an hour or so to see if they have encountered the issue yet.

Does this occur with your A/C on or off?
