I'm not sure what you mean the "clicking won't" but I do know that sometimes on my 98 the safety neutral won't engage.
I know, What?
Try pushing forward on your shifter when it's in park then try the key again.
If that doesn't work, look at your shifter and down on the trim that shows what gear your in, on the right side of the shifter you'll see a black, probably, plastic plug. Take your finger nail of a small screw driver and gentle pry it out. Now you'll have a hole and you will need something that will fit down in that hole like a screw driver, not really long one, and down in there is a button.
Find it and push down on it while pressing on the button of your shifter like taking it out of park. While you are pushing down on the button in the hole and taking it out of park, once you succeed in getting it out of park, give the shifter another good shove into park and try and start it again. This is called a saftey neutral lock out switch. I can usually just push on my shifter and turn the key again and it'll start. The first time it happened to me though, I was really messed up, I thought battery, starter, you name it, then it dawned on me, oh wow, that was a messed up deal for about a half hour because I was 300 miles from home and had just bought the car and didn't have a clue, I really hope this is your problem and helps. Good luck
