    one click - I am guessing that is the STARTER solenoid that is clicking and not the starter relay.

    If it is the starter solenoid - a new starter solenoid is on your shopping list, but* you may have to replace starter.

    * Isn't there always a BUT

    Inspect the cables a bit deeper and underneath. For a 2007 you might be surprised to see or find decayed cables like my pic FC688BEB-C2C1-4A3F-8A9E-AAF6FBB2408F.jpg

    ok my first suspect the solenoid was wrong, lets confirm its the SOLENOID or the relay is the clicking you hear.

    You ahve checked, cleaned tightened the battery cables both ends?

    Always good to double check cables and ground points.
    Auto or manual transmission? Have you tried starting it in neutral instead of park with foot on brake?
