The clicking sound is the solenoid on the starter. Either your battery is very dead, or the positive cable going to the starter is in very bad shape, or the solenoid/ or starter is no good. not much to go wrong here.

If the AC stop working while you driving and the windows stop working too its possible that the alternator is bad?
Electrical Failures But Engine Continues to OperateAlthough it is possible, it is not very likely because with an alternator failure, the battery will become discharged, and eventually will "kill" the ignition and thus the engine.This sounds more like a fuse or relay failure.
What are the symptoms of a car alternator failure?
Some symptoms of a car alternator failure include dim headlights, a drained battery, or the inability to start the vehicle. The alternator powers all aspects of the electrical system once the engine is running.
What caused your 96 honda civic to try to turn over with the key out of the ignition and start smoking from the distributor?
A bad electrical failure
Why wont your Mazda 6 start?
Same as with most cars, failure in the ignition system, electrical failure, failure in fuel supply. The only time mine has failed to start in over 220k miles was a knackered battery which spontaneously died.
Could ignition cause sudden engine failure?
Ignition is required for an engine to work. Failure of ignition would prevent the engine working.
What causes alternator failure?
Bearings can fail or a diode can burn out. Age is the enemy of an alternator.
Where is the ignition failure sensor in a 01 stratus rt?
The ignition failure sensor in an 01 Stratus RT is located above the condenser. It is near the ignition coil. ?æ
What does the red battery light mean when it comes on when i turn on the ignition?
That light is a warning light for the battery charging circuit. In order for you to know that the light is not burned out, your vehicle manufacturer installed a test circuit which turns the light on when the ignition switch is turned on when the engine is not running, and turns it off when the vehicle starts and the engine is running, and the alternator is creating more electricity than the vehicle's circuits is using. If there should be a failure of the alternator, or it's circuit, or the output is below the current being used by the vehicles circuits, then the red warning light should come on. If there is adequate electrical output from the alternator it should stay off, EXCEPT for the bulb/circuit "proof test" when the ignition key is turned on while the engine is NOT running.j3h.
Your vauxhall astra has lost all power why?
most common faults that occur with power loss is 1:clutch failure 2:old dead battery that is pasted its age 3:alternator is faulty,cause power loss to all electrical things in car i.e lights indicaters,battery not recharging to supply car functions,u will lose all power and acceleration.
What could cause the ABS and brake light to come on a 96 Dodge Dakota?
An electrical failure in the ABS system.An electrical failure in the ABS system.
Is there a fuse that keeps the alternator charging?
No. The short summary is that there usually is a fuse or circuit breaker in the line coming out of the alternator that protects the alternator from a sudden surge in power from some outside source and which also protects the engine's electrical parts from a sudden surge that might somehow come from the alternator (very doubtful this would happen). But that fuse doesn't keep the alternator charging in the strict sense of the phrase. What stops an alternator from charging is internal parts failure such as the burn out of a rectifier, bearing failure or the belt which drives the alternator failing or coming loose and slipping excessively. Short of failures such as these an alternator will keep on charging as long as the belt is turning its pulley and causing the rotor inside the alternator to turn.
Why would this happen alternator changed in 2004 ford escape then all of a sudden transmission would only go backwards?
These are unrelated failures. The transmission has a fail safe system in that a electrical or electronic failure will still allow the car to move both forward and back. So the transmission failure is a mechanical one inside the transmission and unrelated to the alternator problem
