2000 Dodge Caravan Van won't start

Noises problem
2000 Dodge Caravan Automatic

My Dodge Caravan won't start and it appears to have something to do with a ticking noise that is heard when 'unlock' is pressed on the alarm control. When I put the key in the ignition and turn, the van doesn't start. The engine doesnt even "attempt" starting, like there's no engine starting noise. The only noise heard is the constant ticking around the fuse box *under the steering wheel as well as in the fuse box under the hood*. When I close the door and activate the alarm by pressing the 'lock' button on the alarm remote, the ticking stops. What might be the problem and how can it be fixed?
