The click means that the starter solenoid is trying to make a secure contact. If the current reaching the solenoid isn't great enough, you will hear a click under the hood.
The solution is fix the cause of the current loss usually from the console switch (or 5-speed, the clutch switch.)
Some test you could attempt to run are:
- voltage drop test.
- Apply battery voltage directly to the solenoid.
- Short the suspect switch.
