2014 Mustang Coupe. Pulled the neg terminal connector off yesterday to clean some mild corrosion. Cleaned the battery terminal itself, then reconnected the battery. Now car will not start. Lights come on, fuel pump primes, but I get a rapid clicking noise when I try to start. Any ideas?

First thing is have the battery charged and tested. Secondly, check to see if you left something loose and take the terminal back off and clean it and the battery post with a wire brush or similar battery terminal cleaner.
