[TR] 74 TR6 starting issue

[robert rudolphi]

Hi All,


Around two weeks ago I was at a local cars and coffee andwhen I went to leave my 74 TR6 just made a one-time clicking noice on the rightside (by the fuse box) every time I turned the key but would not turn over. Iturned the battery disconnect on and off a couple times and it started right up.
 Fast forward to today it did the same thing, started up from home no problem,but would not start when I went to leave, I again fooled with the battery disconnectand got it running. Ran a few errands and started up no problem each time. Gothome it would not start. I hooked up my charger battery pack, and it startedright up. I assumed it was the battery so took my old one in they did confirmit was bad.
 I bought a new battery and now continue to just getting a clickingnoice (not by the starter but seems to be coming from the relays by the fusebox even with my battery pack hooked up to the new battery. Things I have troubleshot:
·      Replaced the battery.

·      Hit the starter with a hammer.

·      Tried using the battery pack with the new battery.Also made sure the new battey was fully charged with my trickle charger.

·      Checked all the battery wires for corrosion/connectionsat starter and ground.

·      Removed the battery disconnect and directly wiredthe cables to the battery.

The starter is an older gear reduction starter and before Ilook to replace it wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions. Also, what ismaking the click by the fuse box? Could that be something?
Thanks in advce for any feedback,
Robert
