So the clicking u hear is that comming from ur starter?Have u tested ur battery with a volt meter when u turn ur key to see what voltage it reads? Have u checked to make sure ur battery cables are clean and tight?Let me know what u find.

The clicking is coming from the fuse panel in the passenger floorboard. I tried taking the terminals off and cleaned them and I got a good connection to the battery. I've switched the circuit breakers and checked all fuses. Any other suggestions I might've missed?

That clicking ur hearing is ur fuel pump relay. We need to find out where ur power to ur starter is and isnt when u turn ur key. Look in ur underhood fuse box see if ur ign3 fuse has power and is good. Also does ur dash lights all come on when u turn the key on?Do u have a volt ohm meter or test light?Let me know.
