what exactly goes click?
is it a circuit breaker for the starter circuit? if so there is a short in that circuit. test each piece separately to id the culprit and replace it

You have a solenoid switch on the fender that feeds the starter, Put a test lite on the side of the solenoid that goes to the starter and see if it lights when the key is turned. If it does, the trouble is between there and the starter.........Yes, starters do go bad, wires also loosen up at the starter too. Could be just a loose wire.

I truthfully have a Ford f150 with 198k... On it it particularly is a 1999 the only component I had to ever replace on it became drained and brakes i take advantage of it daily to load hearth timber... Any way i think of it particularly is all with regards to the way you're taking motor vehicle of your motor vehicle mine has Ben threw hell it particularly is my money maker on the facet.... It runs super and that i'll force it till at last i will no longer be able to force it not extra lol....

Start with the battery and make sure it has a full charge, battery posts are clean, no corrosion (clean them with a small wire brush), reattach and see if it starts. Sounds like the battery is dead. If the headlights are real dim it could be the battery. If that is the original battery then it is probably dead.
Most AutoParts stores will test the battery for you and see if it will charge. They do that here in Calif.

sounds like the starter is out.
