Hello,

If you are unable to jump start the vehicle and it only makes clicking noise. It could be due to a faulty starter. It can also be a bad connection to the starter.
So first make sure the battery cable is secured and clear of any corrosion on the battery terminal as well as on the starter.

Here is a helpful guide:

I have attached diagrams for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
