2006 SUPERCHARGED WON'T START

Hi, I have had the above for a few years now.
Except for a few minor electrical gremlins (if you call the radio not working minor) I have had the flat or not enough power battery problem a year or so ago. Put new bigger battery in no further problems until recently.
Its not used that much so I have a solar panel to keep the battery charged up (sunlight permitting). Cool
It gave one warning sign when it was harder to start than usual ,then it was driven a few klms and restarted fine.
The next day there was no sign of the starter at all. Crying or Very sad
Thinking it was maybe a flat battery put it on the CTek and also tried my 'Jumper Battery' no go.
I have checked the Battery leads , and retightened them. Sprayed WD40 on all parts that may have got some condensation on them.
Lastly, checked other posts on the forum to see what it might be -most not applicable but tried a few things -still no go Exclamation
There is a slight clicking noise which seems to be coming from the interior fuse box area. It doesn't sound loud enough to be the solenoid on the starter motor.
Unfortunately, I am some distance from a RR mechanic and it would need to be towed if I can't get it to fire up.
Any help or ideas Question appreciated.

If your CTEK says the battery is good, and you have power in the cabin, I’d look at the starter circuit to start with, things like the relay, the clicking you hear could be the relay not working correctly. You could also try jump leads on the solenoid and motor to check they work. 2012 5.0 SC AB

Hi,
Just an update. Couldn't do much as RRS was stuck outside . Recharged battery, changed relays around ,checked fuses and tried a Jump Start from another SUV. Sad
Finally the weather was kind to us on Sunday and I was able to jack it up and get to the leads to the solenoid and starter motor.
Wiggled them around and it came to life. Very Happy So it appears that its just a loose connection. Have to get it up on a hoist to fix it, but at least I can drive it to one now!!! 2006 4.2 S/C with Tow Pack, Side Steps, DRL's, 19" & 20" wheels, additional 110 ltr Fuel Tank Roof Rack and performance mods.

Final update.
Well it did start and go but kept playing up a bit at times. I had it already booked to go to an 'Indy' (Rova Range) as you call them back in the old Dart.
I thought it was just going to be a loose connection - it was inside the starter motor - so many $$$$ later we have a new starter. Shocked He also found where I had a small water leak coming from. It was the radiator . So more $$$$ Big Cry
But its been serviced /fixed/retuned and with the modifications to the exhaust goes well and sounds like a real V8. Thumbs Up 2006 4.2 S/C with Tow Pack, Side Steps, DRL's, 19" & 20" wheels, additional 110 ltr Fuel Tank Roof Rack and performance mods.
