Starter is at rear of engine, mounted above transmission.
If you have R50, you will need to battery box to get access.
R53, it's underneath the hoses.
If this is stock battery it is probally ready to be changed.
It may test fine but it doesn't really have enough to start.
Mini's are critical for needing power.

Mine started clicking when my battery was on it's way out. Battery was tested and passed, when I went to Autozone they re-tested it and noticed a bad cell.

Get another opinion, this does sound like a dying battery.
