Need your help.

Last week while reversing out of driveway heard a rapid-fire continous clicking noise. I switched power locks on and off, it stopped. Yesterday the RPM and speedometer didnt work, turned engine on and off then they were fine. Today it wont start. Turn key rapid-fire clicking noise repeatedly. Checked battery terminals and cleaned, still no start.. HELP

Have the battery load tested at the parts store.

My 98 caravan wouldn't start and had loud clicking sound at one time. I slid underneath and tightened the cable at the alternator and it started next try and hasn't happened since. Worth a try. Mine took 1/4-1/2 a turn.

Did you actually have the battery tested?
Last week I had similar experiences with my van, the speedo and tach would work and then stop then start again, also had clicking sounds and the digital odometer would blink, changing the battery fixed everything.

I had the same problem and have now fixed it myself. I bought the "Clickerfixer" on eBaby from the member named "clickerfixer" for $20.99.
Fixed my problem 100%. Installation took all of 15 minutes for the parts. The starter itself was a different story altogether. Just a note; Hayes manuals are terrible resource for starter R&R. Once the starter was back in, it has worked like a brand new one. My van is the 98 GC with the 3.3L engine.
