Starter question

I put in a new battery and when you push the start button you only hear a clicking sound. What do I do to fix this problem??

Charge the battery.

If battery is fully charged, and all you hear is a click, then you have a broken or loose wire. Rig the battery staight to the starter motor. If that doesn't fix it, the starter motor is hosed, which I've personally never heard of on Spree.

Might also be a bad starter relay or starter pinion gear is somehow jammed.
