Replaced my water pump. now wont start!?

Ok so i found out my water pump was leaking. this happened like 2 weeks after i took off that fan thats run by a clutch on the water pump. well i took off the fan and now two weeks later i saw it leaking. so i replaced the water pump and put it all together. well i had to take off everything including,belt,water pump and drained it all the coolant out. so i was going to ask why when i go to start my car all i hear is a clicking sound. by the way it was like 20 degrees in ym garage but i got it to 40 while i worked, so mayb fuilds or the starter froze? idk also my battery drained in the process of this all. idk y?any help to how i can start my car would b good. i did charge the battery today. thanks

starter has no fluids and u didnt have to replace the water pump just reseal it.

did u add coolant or just water? water feezes at 32 degrees but coolant freezes at a much lower temp. try adding hot water

a leaking pump is usually the beginning of the end for it so replacing it might have been necessary. make sure ever thing is dry then take the water pump belt off and see if it starts. if it doesn't then your problem may be something else.
