You'll have to determine if that clicking noise is coming from the starter itself. If so, it would be a bad starter.
You can also test for power arriving at the purple wire to the starter when the key is held in "start" position.

How would I go about that?

It's pretty self explanatory. Use a test light at the purple wire at the starter while someone else tries to start it and see if that wire receives power.

2WD or 4WD?
Have you actually tested the circuit?
