Went to start my truck and it didn't start it wouldn't even try to start so We have replaced the battery, the solenoid under the hood, We had the starter checked and we were told that the starter is good and that the solenoid on the starter was bad so we had that replaced. Hooked everything back up and went to start it and all it does is make a clicking sound? What else can be the problem?
Thank you,
Sonja Gomez

Bad connection at the battery or a bad ground connection.

START AT THE BATTERY AND FOLLOW THE BIG CABLES...AS THEY "GO THRU" COMPONENTS, YOU'LL WIND UP AT THE STARTER.....AND AT A GROUND
