Same thing happened to me recently. I had to bang with my fist on the hood over the lock while someone else was clicking the switch, but then it released. Probably something should be lubricated in the mechanism,

I have found that connecting to the terminal in the fuze box needs to be done with a decent sized battery, as it takes a fair amount of current to run the actuator. A battery charger wouldn’t cut it, but it was able to connect to my motorcycle battery (and my MC jumper cables have small clamps on the ends, which helps) and that worked just fine.

Sorry, I didn`t read your post carefully, I missed that the clicking noise is not coming from the actuator. In that case. try what tcoradeschi is suggesting, probably it needs more juice. You can aalso add power to the connector at the fuse box from another car using a jump start cable.

I couldn’t get mine to work using a battery charger on the boost setting. Used jumper cables from a running car and that did the trick
