This says it does have a fluid reservoir? Some electric power steering just has an electric pump as a opposed to a mechanical pump driven by the serpentine belt.
check power steering fluid level is adequate - under the bonnet
check fan belt is powering the power steering unit -under bonnet
check hoses to power steering unit are ok ! no leaks !
check your battery voltage for +12volts off,then have the battery load tested and see if its above 10 volts under load test,if it shows ok,then you may have a high resistance ground in the system that needs to be traced probably at the e.c.m. power because of the clicking it sounds like its going thru the self-test before it starts
sounds like electrical power is lost to engine.
So, power source is at starter relay. Check connection there. If you have a volt meter - use it. If not, rig up a 12V light and use it. Find the bad connection - starting at the starter relay. I guess that the lights (head lights, radio, etc.) work.
So, carefully clean battery power leads. The problem is in that part of the electrical system.
It sounds stupid, but check the tail light sockets. My 5 series had all sorts of electrical problems and when I replaced defective tail light sockets, most of the problems disappeared.
