It would really, really help if you could elaborate on your "click"
and the conditions at the time.

There is a mechanical click when the ig. switch crosses the
boundary to fire the starter.

There is normally an electrical click when 12v current reaches the
solenoid.

Did you hear only the one? Both?

Also, when you turned the ignition on, did any elec. components
work (dash lights, horn, <anything>)? Was anything on the car
powered?

My '94 Tbird LX V8 went totally dead for about 20 min. 2 years
ago. I checked most of the stuff mentioned in this thread.
Never did find the culprit.
