Make sure the ground wire is clean on both ends, check the battery cables. Is it the starter itself making the clicking sound?

I know the answer to your problem it happened to me, I have a 1999 Kia sephia I figured it out, your problem is your ignition wiring coming out of the ignition switch, it's gone bad there is two remedies one is to replace that part with a new one or use a zip tie with the existing one, what you want to do is remove the one screw that holds it in place and zip tie all 6-7 wires tight to the steering wheel column as tight as you can get it and that will fix your problem for good.
