No.....
'Each' battery cable has 2 ends.....
It is pretty (very) common for 'both' ends of the cables to become
dirty, especially the negative at the block and the positive at the
starter relay and/or solenoid.
There also is a mesh wire from the back of the engine to the firewall
that needs 'both' ends cleaned every once in a while but that will just
give a no start or strange stall, not a click click noise.

Ok, I understand. I have to clean both ends of the cables. Your right, I

Thanks for the help.
Do you think that the starter can be faulty?
