I noticed, but I didn't say anything. I thought it was 7 years.
100 months, I think they did that when they gave it the 3 year replacement

instead of the 2.

I got the Alternator checked today and the test came out good for both the battery and alternator.Now how do I find out if the starter is going?

could be any of the following:



alternator

battery

connections

starter



being as the "clicking" wouldnt stop, I would first check all the connections, then I would lean towards a starter, also make sure the

ignition key is disengaging.
How do I make sure the ignition key is disengaging?

you said you hear a clicking, if the other stuff tested ok then I would check

the connections, then the starter.



try wiggling the key back and forth a bit

You should try testing your battery terminals.
