Kind of depends where the "click" is coming from, if it is a 5 speed there will be a click from the starter relay under the dash, 5 speed or auto the starter solenoid will click.

Try this...turn on dome light, [leave door open] keep an eye on dome light and turn ign. to start, let me know exactly what happens to the dome light. 94
