Looks like an external relay for the starter motor

It is the starter motor relay.
It is clicking because thats what it does when power is applied to it!
I woulodcheck the big fuses in the fuse panel next to that. My guess is you have blown the big 60amp one.

I'ts difently the starter realy. and if you blow or damage the 65 amp fuse in the box next to it the realy will still click
but the starter wont work.
Some one may had put a curcuit breaker in the fuse holder. Could be playing up.
That same fuse powers all you ACC Any thing thats on with the key that hasent been powered straight from the batterty EG UHF.
Cheers matt

also check that it is properly earthed.
