Thank you so much! This was exactly my problem today, I had no idea what to look for.
I came back from vacation to find a dead battery in my truck. No lights on, worked fine when I left... Wouldn't crank when jumped, no dome lights even. I replaced the battery, and got the same clicking noise you described. Thanks to you I found the loose ground wire attached to the frame.
Maybe I pulled it loose when I changed the battery, or maybe it caused the problem with the first battery?
