The Chevy Equinox experiencing a clicking noise when it doesn't start could be due to loose bolts or damaged teeth on the pinion gear. Over the lifespan of the vehicle, issues with the battery may arise. This could include leaks leading to fluid spillage or the battery simply dying, necessitating a recharge or replacement. If the battery case cracks, it will need to be entirely replaced. Rapid drainage of the battery will also require attention, as this component will eventually become ineffective. Plan on replacing the battery every 50,000 to 60,000 miles, which may be a costly expense, but necessary to ensure your car stays on the road.

    If you have a Chevy Equinox that won't start and is making a clicking noise, it is likely due to a faulty battery.

    Here's the paraphrased and revised version:

    "I own a 2018 Chevy Equinox, and I recently replaced the battery. It was working fine until one day it wouldn't start. I verified that all the fuses were in good condition. After that, I disconnected the positive terminal from the battery for 20 seconds and reconnected it, which allowed the car to start again. What could be causing this issue?
