Car "clicks" when turning on, but doesnt start. Help!

Battery is fine. Everything turns on. Lights, radio, alarm, power seats work, etc...

When I turn the key, all I get is a "click" and thats it. Figure its the starter. Does anyone know exactly where the starter on this car is located? Its an 04 G sedan awd.

In the past, i've been able to bang the starter on previous cars and they've started right up. Want to see if it works on the G.

I believe the starter is on the passenger side of the tranny/motor.

This happened to me today. Everything turned on but the car wouldn't crank. Turns out it was the at cont fuse? W.e... didn't make sense to me but I replaced it and it worked.

The battery can still be bad even if your lights, radio, alarm, power seats, etc are still working. When your get a 'click' sound, it is your starter engaging the flywheel but stopping b/c there isn't enough juice to crank the engine. Take it to autozone to get the battery checked out.
