truck wont start

I have a 03 super-cab step side 6 cylinder, wnet to start it when I turned the key to first position every thing came on ( ac, radio.) then when I went to crank it lost power completly. No lights, nothing, now there is a strange clicking sound coming from the dash, around where the fuse panel is. Any ideas on what the problem might be. Thanks for any help. Matt

any idea on what the clicking noise is. the noise continues even after I remove the key, but stops if I try to turn truck over. If I turn the key to the first positon the clicking sound occurs while the air-bag and seat belt lights flash.

My guuess would be that the clicking is a relay "making and breaking" due to low power.
