Default Car not turning over

Went to take the car out today and as i pushed the start botton all i heard was click. I hear the main relay clicking when i put it on The 3rd key postion. When i try to turn it over i hear the main relay click, its not a starter click. Can the main relay still cause it not to start even though i hear it clicking?

Battery?? Are the indicator lights coming on?? A weak battery will still kick on all the lights as the s2k needs a good amount of juice to turn over.

I had this happen on a Rav4 so I pulled the started and took it to the auto store. Starter was fine it just turned out the batter was so dead the starter never made a sound. Have you tried to jump it? If I had done that first it would have saved me an hour or so of work.
