Car died, no turnover & clicking from fusebox
I went to put gas in and after fueling I went to start it and heard nothing. Got out and tapped the starter a few times, got back in and check to see if the radio would go on & it did. For about the last 6 months once in a while When I went to start it the same thing would happen, I would hear consectutive clicks from the fuse box but nothing at all turning over, then I would try again & it would start. This time it would not, also when I put the key in II, it starts clicking by itself & I hear it coming from the passenger side ( maybe under the dash ) too.? I put a new 7.5 fuse in the starter hole & still nothing. BTW I live in Vegas & its about 120. Could the electronice got too hot? I'll try again later when I can get a ride to my car. Let me know what you think guys...

Get the battery tested? Autozone does it for free.
I would say starter or battery.

It probably is your starter solenoid, becasue I had the same problem, I had a starter like that for about 2-3 months. I would have to get ready for work about 15 mins early so I could go outside and play with the car to get it to start.
Try taking a hammer or a long piece of metal and hit it with a hammer on the starter. Then try and start it. If the solenoid is stuck, a hit with a hammer will fix it. Then you just need a new starter. But that has worked for me on many cars I have worked on.
