mabye a bad ignition switch.. or the wiring through the ignition switch is bad. Also, check the fuse block to see if there is a loose fuse in there.. that would cause it as well.

Could be a bad starter solenoid - did you install the old one or a new one? - or a bad starter relay - both click; the solenoid will click once if it cant throw the star gear to the flywheel, and the relay will click continuously if it isnt passing enough current.
