wont start, I just here clicking when I turn the key
I am the least bit mechanically inclined but my 1995 toyota tacoma 4x4 4 cylinder 2.7 liter wont start I just here clicking when I turn the key. I didn't leave the headlights on or anything so I don't believe the battery is dead. My speedometer cable broke prior to this and is still broken I am waiting for the part to come in. The engine light came on after the speedometer stopped working. The speedometer broke on Saturday the 14th of June 2014 & now it wont start today Wednesday the 18th of June 2014. Any suggestions? Thanks for reading any advice would be greatly appreciated

Inspect the battery terminals for looseness and/or corrosion. Check the battery electrolyte level. And, as mentioned above, have the battery tested...low voltage (sometimes caused by a dead cell inside the battery) will cause the rapid clicking.

I concur with the gentlemen above. Bad batt. or loose connections. Starters go bad too but usually show signs of wearing out first. If the batt. is older than a couple years, that's gonna be it. Good luck.

Keep it simple, unless you have money burning a hole in your pocket.
