HHR problems

Hey is there anybody that might can help me figure something out?? I have no money to take my car to a shop, I just put a new battery, starter and alternator on it and it's still not starting up. I have power but it won't crank up. I hear a loud click sound,it almost sounds like it's coming from the starter and it's not a constant clicking, just one loud click and that's it,do anybody have a clue to what that is

Could be a loose wire connection from the fuse box under the hood to the starter, or a loose relay in the fuse box.
Do you know if the ignition switch has been replaced for that recall?

I don't know, I just purchased it two months ago but haven't been able to drive it in 3 weeks.
