Mazda starting problems
When trying to start my 2001 Mazda Tribute V6, all I'm getting is a slight 'click', while the dash lights/indicators etc are all bright. I've replaced the battery (which helped for a day or two) and the car ran fine last night, but this morning it's back to a single 'click' when the key's turned. Boosting doesn't change anything so now I'm thinking it must be the starter motor. Any ideas?

Maybe that is not the battery defect, I guest it is the starter or other mazda parts that connected to the starter.

CHeck battery cable connections at battery and at starter; also the same for ground connections. Loose and/or corroded connections will stop current flow.
How old is the battery? It may be gone. Does it start with a jump from another car? If so, likely not the starter and would point to a bad battery.
