Hello,

Ok, have you tried to jump start it? The clicking when attempting to start usually indicates a Battery problem.

And the usual cause is the CCA (Cold Cranking Amps). Which is what the starter needs in order to turn the engine. Your battery can show a full charge and or all your electrical will work just fine. But, is the CCA are low or non-existant then your vehicle will not turn over and start.
