Does it keep turning or just turn once and then stop? I know this sounds stupid but make sure it has gas.
If you have some sort of test light, try checking to make sure you are getting spark. If you need to know how to do this, just ask, I am happy to explain.
Maybe try putting some jumper cables to it just in case. You never know, maybe it just doesn't have enough juice to start.

Good Luck.

Nick

PS, the clicking behind the dash is more than likely the electrical signal that is sent to the fuel pump to prime it.

Sounds like either the battery is near dead or you have bad connections on the battery. You should clean up the connections on the battery, and if that doesn't work, take your battery and get it tested.
