Can hear the starter spinning?

Is there any grinding noise?

If you can hear the starter spinning, but the engine is not turning over (the belt in front of the engine should move) as stated above, try tapping on the starter with a hammer. If this works, you should get a new starter.

When you say that the "starter turns without clicking" do you mean that nothing is happening when you turn the ignition switch?
