you need to do voltage checks at the starter to verify supply voltage is good.

make sure the grounds at the battery are also clean and secure

If the starter is a rebuilt unit, get it checked.

When it starts clicking. Disconnect the starter solenoid wire and apply battery voltage to the solenoid to test if the starter cranks.
