"Interesting thing happened. When I took off the hal sensor connector, I got the same click."

Yep. You could send the sensor to Syracuse and your engine still wouldn't crank. The Hall sensor's far removed from the starter motor, functionally and physically. Particularly if you send it to Syracuse.

I hate to ask a dumb question--though I'm a genius at dumb questions--but is your battery fully charged?

If so, then find a voltmeter and measure the battery voltage while you try to crank it. The voltage should be near 12.5 volts before cranking and drop to around 8-9 volts while cranking.

But if it's not charged, then it's time for that revolting task....
