The clicking sound is due to the low battery. I would recommend taking the battery to a parts store for charging and load test. If it checks good, then re-install and make sure the battery cables are clean and tight. Remember, disconnect the Negative side first, then positive side. When you reinstall, connect positive first, then negative side.
