That's your main relay clicking, do you hear the fuel pump priming (a faint hum from the rear seat when you first turn the key to II and leave it there (where all the dummy lights are lit up))? It might not do it if you just tried starting it.
Sounds like you need a main relay, the main relay controls fuel, without fuel your car will crank for eternity...or until the battery goes dead, whichever happens first
.
How many clicks is it, a continuous sound, or is it a solid number of distinguishable clicks. Last I checked you're supposed to have three clicks - you're positive it's coming from there, and not the engine bay though, right?
I suppose it could be the fuel pump relay too, blah, I hate electrical crap, so if nothing else this is a bump for you.
