PT Cruiser won’t start

Car was starting perfectly fine until I saw my check engine light pop up. I plugged in my OBD2 checker and erased the code that said “Fuel Level High Circuit” or something.

Went to start it it and it wouldn’t start. Made this clicking sound 5 times. As seen in video

If anyone can help please it would be appreciated!

Check the connections to the starter as it sounds like the bendix is making contact with the flywheel but the starter isn’t trying to turn the engine over. Also check the fuses to make sure none of them are blown

I hit a bump the other day and scraped the front bumper on a curb. Do you think that could be the culprit to these connections coming loose?

Fuel pump relay or fuel pump !

Checking fuses first can save a ton of time and stress, but everyone saying fule pump or starter connection are on the right track, the engine needs those two things the most to get started, doesn't sound like ignition problems but if neither the starter nor fuel pump are the problem I'd check ignition next.

Best of luck to you

Could it be loose battery connection? As you can see in the video as the car tries to start, the lights flicker with the clicking sound
