I changed out the module underneath the air filter because making clicking noise. None of the lights and radio stopped work because of the module. Everything started working again once changed it for afew weeks but now when turn over key just clicking. It will not start so lights start dimming so jump starting it with my truck. But still just clicking!Please help and thank you!

Test the battery and check the connections make sure its clean and tighten properly. Have helper put key in start position while you go underneath and bang on the starter if it kicks over by banging on it-replace the starter. If nothing happens check for power at the starter relay terminal I. Power there make sure the relay is grounded properly-if it continues replace the relay.
