Replaced starter and still click. Could it be cylinoid on firewall next to battery? If so, do you know the wiring diagram?

Your car is 13 years old, sweetcakes.
The first thing to do is buy a cheap volt meter.
If it has less than 12 volts, get a jump and see if it starts. If it won't start when properly jumped, your starter may be bad. If it starts sometimes, but not other times, it could be the solenoid.
If it starts look at the volt meter again to see if your charging system is working, the volt meter should read 13.5 volts or more. If it doesn't you need a new alternator.
If it has over 12 volts with the engine off, watch what happens when you crank the car. If it drops to zero, you have a bad battery. If it only goes down a little, you could have a corrosion problem somewhere between the battery and where the cables connect on your engine or chassis. That's when you can try the following:
Buy a tool from Pep-Boys to clean your battery posts and clamps. If after you clean them it still does the same thing, you may need a starter.

it is most likely bad connection at the battery or the starter relay switch. The starter relay switch is located on the fender. Locate the +(positive) battery cable...follow that to the next connection...which will be the starter relay switch.
Be careful to not burn yourself but you can take a wire and jump the 2 large terminals together and see if it makes the car turn over. If that works just replace the relay.
Hope this helps

continually examine your battery first. a very can charge battery will be at 13.2 volts (2.2volts in accordance to cellular). yet what you could do is grab DVOM and probe it on the solenoid twine going to the starter. floor the unfavourable one to the chassi or unfavourable terminal of battery. when you're making your connections turn the major and through this I mean turn it on like you'll start up your motor vehicle up. you should have a minimum of 9.5volts or extra going to starter. in case you do your starter is undesirable. If is way less and the battery is completely can charge then you actually have too a lot resistance someplace. examine and clean corrosion from battery terminals and make certain they are on tight afterwards. examine for corrosion on all of your floor wires also and clean if needed. in case you nevertheless cant make sure it out take it on your interior sight mechanic.
