try cleaning off the connections with a wire brush. sometimes for some reason even though there is electricity going to the starter, its just enough to make it click. That happens a lot too if you dont have the battery clamps actually tightened, like if they are just sitting on there.

I realy hope you have a sealled battery if you re-located to trunk, as they need to be vented. The fumes from a reg battery can cause them to explode under some conditions.IE; a good spark or a flame. (do you smoke??)

^^^That's why I haven't relocated mine just yet. I am waiting until I can get a dry cell battery.
