The starter is on the passinger side rear,under the Thing and is attached to the transaxle.The starter solenoid might not be moving then you try to start the Thing. The solenoid moves forward and engages(turns) the flywheel thus turning over the engine. Remove the starter and have it checked.

What causes a clicking sound and the car not to start when the battery is charged?

Then your battery is still not charged. The clicking sound is the solenoid that has a little gear on it that engages with the ring gear of the engine to spin it. There is a certain amount of voltage needed to push that solenoid into the ring gear and your battery isn't putting out enough. You'll need a jump to get started and then need to consider the battery.

Why does a 1994 Ford Areostar mini van just make a clicking sound when you try to turn it on?

If it does not start and just makes a clicking sound, this is an indication of: a low battery, poor battery connections, or a defective starter solenoid ( next to the battery hooked up by the short positive battery cable). Check and clean your battery cables first , then look to the solenoid if you know the battery is fully charged. I hope this helps you. Mark
