It could be a defective ignition switch as well (it has a disabling circuit) thinking the vehicle is stolen. The dealer has the equipment to see if is throwing a code for that.
How do you replace the Battery on a 2004 GMC Envoy?
Had the same problem last night...if you are still running your factory battery....REPLACE IT! you'll have to boost the engine to start it and be able to remove the key....
The clicking sound you hear when you turn the key is the starter solenoid trying to apply voltage to the starter. Try this, if you can see the starter tap it with a hammer and then try to start the car. this is an emergency make do.
The solenoid is a heavy duty relay that is capable of switching the high current requirements of the starter (up to 70 - 100 amps).
If it's clicking its closing. By the way a new starter will come with a new solenoid
I just replaced my starter in my F-150 today for the exact same problem. Cost $100
Hope this helps Good Luck Loringh
