did you check your battery or your starter? it sounds like you have a dead battery.

when you turn the key on the on postion and it is clicking it could be your starter. Because i think a similar problem and it ended up being a starter

If your engine is not even turning over its a dead battery or starter... or it sounds like it could be a lose terminal wire on the battery or bad ground.

so if you don't hear any cranking, just clicking. it's most likely a dead battery. do your lights look dim?
