im going to bet it is the battery although the rest of the stuff does work..... it just isnt enough amperage to get the starter to turn over..... try jump starting it and let it run for a while... also at night turn on your headlights, blower, radio, and see if either your radio cuts out or your headlights dim substantially

Suggested Repair

Replace the starter relay. The starter tested good and a jump start did not help, and the click is coming from the top of the engine rather than the starter.

Conversation Summary

A 1993 Dodge Caravan 3.3L will not start and only clicks. The starter tested good, lights and power windows work, and a jump start did not help. One reply suggested low battery amperage, but after the owner noted the click is on top of the engine, the expert diagnosed a bad starter relay and recommended swapping it.
