Could be a low battery, or bad battery connections. Make sure the battery is charged, and that the battery connections are clean and tight.

Same problem for me but was fixed but using a razor blade to clean the negative battery cable it was oxidized heavily but after it was scraped down to bare metal it started up fine

To the clicking post, All you need is a new battery in the key fob. Problem solved.That is if you have a key fob
