Clicking could be the starter motor - is the battery fully changed ? Are you in a cold part of the world ?

It sounds like a flat battery to me, have you checked the voltage on the battery,or turn they headlamps on and turn the key,if the lights dim then that is the problem

98% of the time it's the battery.

Call 800.for.merc and have your dealer bring you one and install it for you.
