Re: When i turn the key to start the car,all the elec....
Dead battery, charge it or buy a new one or jump it. You have enough juice to play radio and lights, but you dont have the cranking amps to turn the motor over. Thats why it clicks
Hello dmgarcia2882
Try cleaning you're battery connections, what you've described are the classic symptoms of loose or dirty connections. I hope this is helpfull.

If it is a rapid repeating clicking noise when the key is in the crank position than it is almost always the battery. If it is a single click every time you try to start it is almost always a bad starter.
Double check your battery connections. If the battery is new and the starter makes a series of clicking noises when the key is held in the start position than you are not getting a good power supply to the starter or there is not a sufficient ground.
the clicking noise is usually 2 things, step on try jump starting car and if starts have battery tested as it is probably bad (free testing at most chain auto stores), the other usual problem is that the starter has gone bad, when whoever tried turning off car while driving might have put into start mode and burnt out the starter when it engaged at high speed.
Sounds like an electrical mess up. Im not too familiar with ford and newer vehicles. It could be the starter getting jambed. The make a grinding/clicking noise..Something like a selenoid? Just ideas..
