Clicking Noise When I Start

So i recently noticed every once in a while my car makes a horrid clicking noise when I start it. It went away for a while but its back again and worse, seems to happen when i turn it on and off frequently... tonight I released before it would start it was so bad, starter? Need advice!

The clicking noise is the ABS control unit doing a self test. It is a normal procedure that the car does, sometimes it is not noticeable when starting but is very noticable if you just turn it on partically. I have customers coming into the dealership all the time asking this, and why there is water dripping from under their car in the summer(A/C condinsation). My favorite is when people phone with broken steering wheel because the key has locked it and they need to cycle the key and turn the steering wheel at the same time to get it to move.
