Replaced battery. Turn key and lights power comes on, but car will not start. just makes a clicking noise. Noise stops when you push on the brakes.
Double check your battery connections. If the battery is new and the starter makes a series of clicking noises when the key is held in the start position than you are not getting a good power supply to the starter or there is not a sufficient ground.

SOURCE: clicking noise when trying to start car,battery is ok, wont start
That Clicking is the Battery causing it not to Start. You need to Replace that Battery or at Least put a Charger on it for a Couple of hours to see if you can Salvage it for a While.
SOURCE: try to start car and nothing happens. replaced
Do the dash lights come on ? They should come on when the key is turned to the on position. If nothing happens check the engine relay. It is not too expensive to replace if you really want to eliminate that as the problem. Check all wires going to the starter and make sure it is wired correctly.
SOURCE: Car wont start?
May sound stupid, but use a voltmeter to double check your batteries' charge.
Just cause its new..stranger things have happened..
Check your battery connections? tight?
Check your grounds around the engine compartment frame.
Loose? Rusty?
Check starter ground for same problem.
Check the fuses and relays in the fuse box in the engine compartment.
Your main heavy duty components are fused there.
Good luck.

your battery isnt holding enough charge to crank the starter.thats what the clicking is. try charging you battery for a good 8-10 hours, if it still does the same thing you'll need a new battery.
