Have had this problem many times after my starter cable was cut. Multiple click is usually a sign the starter is not receiving enough voltage. If you have greater then 11v+ on-screen try removing the starter cable from the battery, clean and re-insert the stud. Check to make sure the stud is also making good contact with the inside of the battery.
