    green normally means batt is charged and working well, clicking noise from trying to start car can mean the starter motor is on the way out. you can try a jump-start just incase it is the batt

    was that trying to jump start it ? if so the next thing to look at would be your starter motor

    I've seen this on a transit connect van. They stop and all you can hear is the relays clicking on and off. We sent it back to ford as it is on a lease deal but you should be able to return it as long as you bought it from a dealer (within 6 months). It's up to them to prove it. If you want a quick fix then leave the battery off for 10 minutes and jump start after, that's what we did as a temp fix but I'd send it back as it could happen again
