One click won’t start 2002 Discovery

[Abouttime]

Hi,
New here. As mentioned above my Rover just one click and doesn’t start. Can’t jump it. So being old school I replaced the starter and solenoid and it ran, for three weeks. Now we are back to the original scenario. One click. I have checked all the fuses they look fine. The battery I decided to replace as it was old and a little low. So with the new battery I wanted to see if it had a ground fault. So with the key in the ignition and the ignition switch in the run position I turned on all the accessories, the result, no drop in voltage. So I am a little stumped. I haven’t tested the relays yet as I am not sure on the exact procedure to do this.

Any help or ideas would be awesome.

Thanks

Have you checked all your cable connections, including grounds? Make sure they're all clean and tight. Recently there was a post from a guy whose engine to frame ground cable was missing.

It's very often helpful to have a half-decent decent Battery Tester

Checking relays isn't hard, but takes patience and wires, batteries, alligator clips, and 3 arms. Just buy a few extra and swap out the ignition one.

What about the Ignition Switch itself? May be OK in the Run position, but may have a fault in the Start position.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I’ll be back at it tomorrow morning. Currently dark and snowing here so I am leaving the rechecking of the grounds and testing the ignition switch until morning.
Will let you know the results. Cheers

Did you ever figure it out? I thought I had mine resolved but it’s back to a single click.
