Coincidental - non-working vis motors won't stop a car from starting.

All wiring back in place? The click sounds more like a low battery/solenoid, re-charge and try again.

Multiple clicks then charge the battery up and check the power and earth connections are clean and tight at the battery along with the power cable to the starter motor and earth return strap on the engine.

If it is a single click each time you attempt to start then could be worn starter motor solenoid contacts.
