My 93 eb fairmont was starting to do this(turn the key and nothing),try this.turn the key as far as you can and hold it there,with your other hand give the dashboard a good whack just above the handbrake lever,even a few good whacks,if it starts you need to change your smart lock module,i changed mine and it went mint again.

If youare sure the battery is good the click you hear is possibly the solenoid on the starter receiving the "start" signal from the key but it is likely the starter brushes are worn or stuck so the starter wont actually start turning the engine over so attention to the starter will be required OR it could be as simple as the small wire that pushed on to the solenoid has fallen off and the click you hear is the starter relay.
