If it is just clicking when you go to turn it over, how can you tell it has fuel and spark?

Battery on the way out?

Sounds like alternator isn't charging and you managed to drive home on battery but now it's flat. Clicking sounds like starter relay.

Check battery voltages static and cranking to confirm battery health and maybe alternator brushes and charge wire connections.

That doesn’t necessarily mean the battery is good. It could have enough charge to run the electronics but not enough oomph to kick it over.

How long has it been since the battery was replaced? If it’s more than about 4-5 years it’s on borrowed time if it’s not cactus now.

Ok. The next thing in line would be the starter motor or starter motor solenoid. Have someone crank the engine and tap the solenoid (the small canister on the starter motor) with the handle of a hammer or other suitably blunt object. That can be enough to dislodge the solenoid if it’s sticking.

If it starts then you need a new starter motor or if your mechanically inclined you can dismantle the starter motor and clean up the solenoid assembly which may fix it with zero dollars spent.
