I have a Challenger 1800 (1997), one engine will start just fine, the other won't turn over when I hit the start button. It makes a clicking sound, like thge starter is trying to enage the cylinder but something is stopping it. THis is the first time I've tried to start it this year, I replaced the battery already.
Any help would be apprciated!

I pulled and cleaned them, but will try and replace them. Would bad plugs stop the starter from turning? Thank you!

Check to make sure that all electrical connections are clean and tight while you are checking and cleaning you may also want to coat connections with dielectric gell to prevent corrosion. Check to make sure that when you replaced the battery that you reconnected all of the wires to the positive post. Check to ensure that your grounds are clean and connections are tight.
YOU CAN'T BE FIRST...BUT YOU MIGHT BE NEXT
