The auto shifter is in park.

The key fob low battery light did come on so I replaced it but nothing unfortunately.

next Ill look into the clutch safety interlock switch.
You can check the switch.

That you hear a click suggests the starter circuit is getting energized which wouldn't happen if the clutch safety interlock switch was bad.

The click but no subsequent starter action could arise from bad cabling to or from (ground cable) the starter.

Of course it could be a bad starter solenoid. The solenoid doesn't fully engage the pinion gear with the ring gear and doesn't complete the starter motor electric connection. Or the connection is made but the starter is bad.
