if its a single click from the fender then its probably the soleniod, otherwise something with the starter, or your battey is dying.

the old Myrtle Beach hangover again I see! LOL told you to stay away from the Dollhouse didn't I!

if the solenoid clicks but the starter don't engage, check the connections on the starter side of the solenoid and down on the starter itself. also could be battery charge is too low also.

humor me, clean your battery terminals and cable connections, especially to the starter, really good and try it again.
