Real quick, here's the wiring diagram: https://www.ft86club.com/files/BRZwiringi.pdf

If you're just getting clicks then there's clearly not enough juice going to the starter. I saw you were gonna check the starter from an earlier recommendation, that's the best place to start.

Next, Is there any wiring in there that looks off? I know you said stock, but if it's used it may have been returned to stock for sale. I'd start looking for some spare sub amp wires in the trunk, or splices on the harness. If someone did audio upgrades incorrectly, then left some things out of place after going back to stock it's not impossible that things shifted around. I'd also check on every fuse for both amperage and continuity.

Beyond that, it's possible something on the ignition circuit has gone awry, but again you've got clicks but not a turning engine. Best I can come up with for that is an immobilizer issue.

I guess maybe something could have frozen up in the block. If that's the problem we're waaaaay outside the ballpark, around the corner into the alley, and behind a dumpster for how unlikely it is.
Good points made here.

Another thing is, could you post some photos of the wiring around your battery and starter motor? Perhaps something will jump out to one of us as not quite right.
