Hello,
If the battery is good but you are just getting a click, it could be the starter is faulty.
Have you tried to jump start the car? Just in case there is a loose connection with the battery.
Keep in mind that it could also be a connection issue at the starter, which just not providing enough power to start the engine.
Also have some one tap on the starter as you try to start the car. This is a old method to test for a bad starter. Typically if you are able to start it with the tap it is a defective starter.
