Thanks in advance.

If it's clicking the selenoid, then I'd look at loose or corroded
wiring first. On a lot of them, the motor part of the assembly can be
easily seperated from the pump portion so you can replace the motor.
The motor and or pump may have corrosion problems also. I'd take it
apart.
