Check the connections on your battery terminals and make sure they are clean and tight.

All that stalling might have shaken the battery and loosened the connections.

Do all the lights go out when you attempt to start the vehicle.? That is a sign of a weak or dead battery. What happens when you attempt to jump the vehicle?
If you or someone has a digital voltmeter, measure the voltage across the battery when you attempt to start the vehicle. If the voltage drops to below 8v you have a defective battery.
Good luck

Single click is usually a discharged battery, put it on a charger and see if it will take any more juice.
