The 2018 Lexus ES350 may have trouble starting and produce a clicking noise due to a dead battery, alternator issues, or a faulty starter. These issues vary in costs, from moderate to high. Replacing the alternator is the most expensive, with battery replacement being the cheapest and starter replacement falling in between. A new battery ranges from $100 to $220, with labor costing $40 to $50. A new starter costs between $70 and $220, with labor costing $90 to $110. If a new alternator is needed, expect prices between $60 and $300, with labor costs ranging from $430 to $540.
If your Lexus ES 350 makes a clicking sound and fails to start, it could be due to a dead or weakening battery.
