no clicking sounds. nothing is trying to happen. someone suggested that the security system has been enabled. I can't find any information on how to disable it?

My daughter just had the same problem. They said the after market security system fried the starter. It was fixed yesterday, 8/8/2018. Will see how long it lasts. :) Cost $600 with a one owner mechanic, not the dealership.
