Hi james butch,

Initial problem is a fault with the battery, charging system or a power drain.

Now that it is only clicking, it could either be due to insufficient power from the jumper donor or the starter has failed. Give the starter some kncok with a malllet or wodden handle to see if it starts working. If yes, the starter is due for replacement.
