Paragraphs are you're friend, so are words instead of abbreviations...

Did you do something and then the car wouldn't start?

Check for fuel and spark too.

edit: check battery too like ridnlowhatch said

 

Yes, and even if the alternator is screwed the engine should still run off the battery for a few moments--Is the click coming from the starter? If so you know the starter solenoid is working, but it wont turn? Be more specific please. Umm get out a DVOM and test light to do a parasitic drain test, no more thasn 5mA

not if the battery is dead.

what you should do is attempt to jump it, then remove the cable, if it dies then your alternator is not giving power.

why dont you also plug the relay you pulled out back in since you have no idea what its for right now.
