So i was driving when i lost all power and stalled. I thought it was the alternator but i had it checked and it was fine. I replaced the Battery and terminals and now the car wont even try to turn over. What could the problem be and how do i fix it?

I have checked all fuses and the starter. There is a clicking in the fuse box under the hood near the battery. I had a similar clicking when i couldn't find ground for the wiper moter. could it be the main ground being disconnected on the frame? or the lcm or pcm?

Possibly just a relay in the Power Distribution Box. Go to www.fleet.ford.com and click on maintenance tab. Then click on Owners Manuals. Enter information and download manual. Go to roadside emergencies and search for the fuse panels. It tells you what each fuse and relay is for. Might just be a bad starter relay. If you find the relay, trade it with the A/C relay to see if it will start.
