I would check battery connections (both ends) and connections on the solenoid. Cables can rot from the inside out too, so check the cables closely.

Good luck.

It could be like he said, a bad battery, bad terminals on one end or the other or just a bad solenoid. The clicking you hear is the solenoid but theres not enough power to engage the starter for some reason.
