clicking indicates bad connections or or bad parts. check battery posts first. remove and clean and reattach. if that dont work, check starter connections. if that dont work you may have bad starter brushes. yap on starter with hammer while trying to start. if it makes it go you have bad brushes. if that dont work you may have bad starter relay which is on inner fender under hood follow red wire from battery to it. cross large bolts/posts with scewdriver. if that makes starter work replace relay. to complicate matters, you may have a second relay on starter itself? some models did!
