I drove my car this morning with no problems, then this afternoon when I went to drive it it was dead, and there was a clicking from down by the brake pedal, even without the key in.

I jump started it then drove it and after about 100 yards the "CHECK BRAKES" diagnostic came on the computer and the airbag and brake lights came on. After about thirty seconds the car just died again and the clicking from the brake pedal started again. It finally quit when I disconnected the battery.

I checked all the fuses and they are fine, and there is no burning on the contacts of any of the relays.
