Start car everything seems to be fine. Turn car off, won’t start. Instrument lights come on, clicking sound from power box on passenger floor kickpanel. Starter not engaging?

Yes, start with battery. Is it is fully charged with clean secure connections? Possibly it’s so marginal that it barely runs the starter and then doesn’t have enough juice for another start.
