Have you tried jump-starting it? It sounds like the battery is dead. The clicking is various relays going haywire due to low voltage.

To test the battery in place, connect a voltmeter to the lead posts that are part of the battery. It should be more than 12 volts. Then have someone turn the key to try to start. The voltage should stay above 9 volts.
