With the door open you can watch the dome light to get an idea of good/bad connection

Just like redheadhunter21 said. Make sure the connection is good an tight. Any type of loose connection at the battery will cause this. I seem to have forgotten one of the Most important parts of diagnosing starting issues. I just replaced my plenum gasket on mine and had the same issue. I would just click. I looked at my neg battery terminal and it was all but gone.
