It is probably the factory alarm system(the clicking). I had that problem before and just disconneted the battery and that solved it. Might be that.

Like most electrical issues I'm betting that it is a bad ground, especially if all other accessories are dead. If they were just dim I'd more inclined to say battery/alternator issue, but this sounds more like a ground problem. Check all of your grounds, make sure they are snug and CLEAN!

May want to check your fuses as well to make sure that you have not blown one.

Check your starter, if the sound is comming from around under the passenger seat area thats what it could be.

Same thing happend to my brother it turnd out to be a crappy connection on the battery belive it or not.

I would think its the starter also, or a connection at the starter. Happened to my girlfriends car, alot of dirt around some of the connectors, cleaned it off and that fixed it. Just my opinion though, good luck.
