Just rapid clicks. Replaced the starter still rapid clicks and doors unlocking and lights on dash flickering. Cleaned battery cables and battery contacts. Same effect. Bought new battery same effect. Read your post about starting it with the headlights on to see what happens. Tried that and lights went out and all battery power. Now try and start it and nothing comes on nothing happens.

Follow the battery cables to the other ends and clean them, they need a clean connection at both ends to work. If it still clicks one of the cables may have failed internally. Also check any body to chassis or engine grounds. The rapid clicking means that some power is getting through but not enough. Bad connections are the number one cause with a bad battery being the next.
