1. Double-check the battery connections. Ensure the positive and negative terminals are connected properly and securely. Tighten the terminals if necessary.

2. Check the starter motor. The clicking sound may indicate a problem with the starter motor. Try to start the car by turning the key to the "Start" position and listening for the starter motor to engage. If you don't hear the starter motor engaging, it may be faulty and need to be replaced.

3. Check the ignition switch. The clicking sound may also indicate a problem with the ignition switch. Try turning the key to the "On" position and listening for the fuel pump to engage. If you don't hear the fuel pump engaging, it may be faulty and need to be replaced.

4. Check the fuses. A blown fuse can also cause the car to not start. Check the fuses in the fuse box under the hood and replace any that are blown.

5. Check the fuel system. Ensure there is fuel in the tank and that the fuel lines are not kinked or blocked. Check the fuel filter and replace it if it is clogged.

6. Scan for diagnostic trouble codes. If you have access to a diagnostic scanner, connect it to the car and scan for diagnostic trouble codes. These codes can provide more information about the problem and help you identify the faulty component.
