Every so often, when I try and start the car, I click a continuous clicking sound. After that, I need to re-set the clock as if the battery had been totally disconnected. When I try it again, it starts right up. Any ideas on what the issue may be?
Clean all your connections at the battery. Also check and the condition of the cables and terminals.
The most common cause of a "No Crank" condition is a bad starter solenoid. The starter solenoid is a large coil that, most often, sits on top of the starter and engages the Bendix drive with the flywheel and sends power to the starter. If the internal coil goes bad, the solenoid won't engage the Bendix or turn the starter on. This condition will not cause any noticeable noise other than the clicking.
