Engine will not turn over, makes a clicking or rapid clicking sound

Hi,
Your Escape's battery is dead and needs replaced.

GL,

This sound is the relay, Is the battery new if more than 1 and 1/2 yrs. you need to replace your battery.
Is your engine cranking when start, if not, the battery need to be replace.

Jump start it from another battery, if it starts then your battery is bad. If it still makes the same sound
without starting then your starter needs to be replaced.

A single click is the solenoid on the starter engaging. This is a pretty typical symptom of a bad starter if everything else seems normal.

Rapid repeated clicking while the key is in the crank position is a good sign the battery is to weak to turn the engine over.

Back to the single click. Try turning the key to the crank position rapidly and repeatedly. Sometimes this will make the starter work wich will also confirm that it is bad.

Sounds like the anti theft system is engaged.

the battery for the vehicle likely dead, check the owners manual, you may need to remove the safety switch from the hi volt battery in order to boost it,.

sounds like you are on the right track, the battery you have in it has done well to last that long but it sounds like a fell cells have decided to call it quits

sounds like the starter solenoid is defective, the contacts inside the solenoid get worn from electrical arching and then a no start occurs, the indication is a fairly loud clicking noise when you try to start the engine.
