Even though it tested good, it can still be bad. That being said, the first thing I would try would be a NEW fully charged battery. If you have then you can check a couple of fuses. The 250A Battery fuse and the 30A Starter Relay fuse. Then test the relay. And check connections at the starter and battery. Since you get a click I would think the PCM is sending a signal to the relay. You can check that as well if you determine the relay is not activating.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/nostart.html\"><strong>No Start Troubleshooting<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2012 Chevy Cruze Starter Wiring Diagram<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-56678\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/2012-chevy-cruze-starter-wiring-diagram-1024x734.png\" alt=\"2012-chevy-cruze-starter-wiring-diagram\" width=\"695\" height=\"498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/2012-chevy-cruze-starter-wiring-diagram-1024x734.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/2012-chevy-cruze-starter-wiring-diagram-300x215.png 300w, https:\/\/www.freeautomechanic.com\/mechanic\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/2012-chevy-cruze-starter-wiring-diagram-768x551.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I changed the head gasket and now there is only one click when i turn the ignition and one more when i release it, I can turn the motor manually and I&#8217;ve had both starter and battery tested, what could be the problem.
