Welcome to 2CarPros.

If you get a clicking sound when trying to start the engine and the starter doesn't turn the engine, most times it is a weak battery.

Here is a link that will help you load test the battery very easily:

Also, make sure the battery terminals are clean and tight. If not tight or corroded, you may temporarily lose contact and hear one click and then nothing.

Do these things and let me know what you find.
