Car won't start but there's a rapid clicking. I jumped it but won't hold charge

No.the battery light isn't on. The battery cable was touching/rubbing on the motor..So i zip tied it back. I was told perhaps it's a loose starter connection.. but can't b sure until the engine cools and we can get to it by hand. Thanks StevieRay

your welcome.so it's the hot wire going to the starter that's been rubbing?when it does cool,be sure and tape up the bare place and or get some wire loom and put around it(wire loom=split,just wrap it around the wire)

:-), thanks StevieRay. .I'll let u know what I find out tomorrow.

your welcome.post findings.
