hmm, cant seem to find from where, all the wires seem tight. battery is charged. i even tried to jump it.

well... wires can be tight, but if they are bolted to rusted spots, they wont connect right.

is the clicking inside the car or the engine bay?
have you checked the main relay? turn the key and listen to the bottom corner of the dashboard down by your left knee... if it clicks more than once, its bad.
