I just got a new battery a few weeks ago when it wouldn't start at all. Now today I went out and the radio comes on and you here clicking but it won't start again. I just got my oil changed on Thursday and have gas in the car. It is a 2000 Honda Civic and up until this point I have had no problems with it.

You probably didn't need a battery in the first place.
I can guarantee you it's your alternator. Since your car battery and your alternator work hand in hand.

you either got a bad battery,or you could have an electrical short.it could mean your altenator is bad or a voltage regulator.have someone give you a jumpstart and let your battery charge for about 15 minutes.turn on the headlights while it is running after you disconnect the cables from the car that is jumping your car.if it dies when you turn on the lights you possibly have a bad altenator.while your car is running go to your nearest autozone and have them check your car out its free! good luck

Take it to a garage and have them check for spark, and if the car is not even cranking then you should replace the starter solenoid, if you are getting spark and it is cranking then check for gas, that could be the problem. To check for gas crank it a little bit and take a spark plug out and see if they smell like gas. If they don't your injectors could be shot or your fuel pump coming from the gas tank could be shot.

The clicking is probably a bad starter.

sounds like the starter or the silenoid.
