Ford Bronco 2, 175,000 mi, 2.9L

Hi, I'm pretty much car illiterate and am having trouble with this car. The bronco won't start. It clicks when you turn the key but that is all. The battery is brand new, and I also replaced the starter solenoid and the ignition switch. It will only start when I bridge the starter solenoid. Any ideas?

If anyone knows a approximate cost for having transmission seals replaced I'd also be really interested in knowing. Thank you.

If the solinoid is good and the ignition switch is good, maybe you crossed the 2 small wires on the solinoid. Or a bad fusible link
