Default Car wont start but battery good...Any ideas??

Hi All,

Hoping you could shed some light on this. My car wont start, theres a clicking sound when u start the car but thats about it. I drove it last saturday and than on Sunday when I went to start it, I got a clicking sound. The battery was tested and its fine. The radio works so I dont think its the battery. Anyway to test if its the alternator or starter?
My brother seems to think its the starter but could it be the alternator?
I have an 05 accord v6 lx w/over 97000 miles.

Any advice would be appreciated! TIA

It might be a loose battery cable. The big (+) cable going to the starter might be loose at the starter, so everything else gets power (through the fusebox).

Be careful - disconnect the (-) cable before you put a wrench on that (+) cable because it's live all the time.
