This sounds like a relay issue but just to be sure what the issue is, you are able to turn the key and the engine does not turn but you hear a clicking? You are able to turn the engine by hand so it is not locked up, you just can't get the starter to turn the engine over?

here is a guide that will help with this but I would suggest starting with checking voltage at the starter just to be sure it is not getting voltage:

Then I would remove the relay in the under hood fuse panel as this is where the relay is for the starter. It is close the the back side of the dash so it may sound like it is clicking under the dash.

Let me know if you have questions. Thanks
