    It could be a very dead battery and the clicking is your starter solenoid trying to make the starter motor rotate but it does not have enough juice. The battery needs to have at least 12.5 volts. Or if the starter itself is defective, then it too can just make a click sound, which is very common on a Camry, I own one so I know.

    here are some shops:
