usually the imfamous click points to a faulty starter. Luckily you can rebuild your starter. If you are handy with tools, definitely take advantage of the situation and rebuild the starter. The necessary part is $23 from the dealer.

But try to jump start first. It could be the battery. If not, consider looking into the starter.

Starter. Buy a quality re-man'd unit and take it to your mechanic of choice. The stealer will try to give you a re-man and not mention its not a new unit. There's a bunch of threads on this for a DIY.
