SOURCE: clicking in fuse box under hood

That test with the Hydrometer of battery specific gravity will indicate the state of charge, the problem is this, the battery posts that connect to the cells inside the newer sealed batteries burn through, so although the battery is charged there is no way to deliver the power to the car, that is why a load test is the only true test of battery performance. Most auto parts stores do this test for free.

SOURCE: my car start but shutt off inmedialty

If you have not done so pull the engine codes or have someone do it.
The codes will give you a good idea where to start otherwise the first place I would check is replacing the Crankshaft Position sensor. This is not only very common for them to fail but I have 1994 Laredo and 1996 Laredo and both had the same trouble at exactly the same time. In addition I replaced the Intake Air Temp sensor, coolant temp sensor and idle air control valve on the 1994. The clicking is probably relays and is more than likely normal.

Clicking noise - near side roof area, Saab 93 hatchback 2001

The only clicking sounds I'm aware of come from the top of the strut mount bearings that are worn out on older vehicles that tend to have over like 80,000 miles on them during certain turning or bumps. I don't know of that helps you or not.

Ac won't turn on heater ok all fusees an relays ok 2000 silverado

When you hit the button, does the light come on? If so, and there is no cold air try a freon charge kit with dye in it. These kits are relativly inexpesive and come with yellow glassed and a UV flashlight. Fill the freon and let it run for a couple days. Then using the glasses and flashlight in a dim area, look for splashes of green. THen you can get the oring or what ever is leaking, change it, then have a pro evacuate and re-charge the system.

2000 Cavalier won't start, making fast clicking sound w/ ignition

Low voltage will cause the problem you are having,get the battery charged,and then have the alternator checked for the correct out put,13.65 to 14.25 if it is not in this range give or take a couple of volts,replace it,I would have the battery replaced also,so you won`t have the problem again.Have a shop replace the battery,if you do it yourself,the memory could be erased if certain measures are not performed.
