If they are saying your computer bad then check battery for condition including load test first. Autoparts do for free. If there is a code you should have told us or at least given the code so we can do a better job. But it could be either

The code given was po601 and I had first got a code for under voltage so I put a new battery in and then a new light switch because my fog lights would not work. Then the clicking noise started after all this.

Check this as it may be what this tip is saying like a cracked spark plug they will sound like a click. Also have the charging system checked it may be low on voltage. It could also be the fan belt and tensioner. Other than that I have no further suggestions.
