While driving in my car the stop light came on i stopped and switch the car off. I tried to start it again, but my engine will not crank and all i hear is the starter clicking. if i put it in gear and move the car it acts as if the engine is locked and does not want crank over. what could be the cause?

It sounds like the engine may of had a problem, can you use a breaker bar on the front of the engine dampner to see if the engine turns over?

That could be, unbolt the starter and see if you can turn the engine over by hand, also remove the serpentine belt from the front of the engine to see if an accessory has locked up causing the engine to not turn over.
