Here is something you might try,,
Turn on the headlights. Are they bright or dim?
If dim, possibly poor connection at the battery or battery N/G or charging system not charging battery.
If normal brightness, attempt to start vehicle,
If headlights go dim, could be poor battery cable connection or bad battery or starter defective.
If lights show no change, starter circuit has poor connection or starter is N/G.
I notice you say it clicks, that would indicate a poor connection with battery cable(s) or starter is no good. Sometimes you can tap the starter once or twice with a hammer and the starter might just work. If it does, that will only work a few more times and the starter should be replaced.
