I had my starter tested and it is good. I put a new solenoid on the fender and the battery is good but when i try to start it all I get is click. What should my next step be to figure out what is wrong?

Are you sure the battery terminals are clean and tight? Also, make sure the ground to the engine block is clean and tight. Finally, if everything seems good, then you will need to check the ignition switch.

Can you tell where the click is coming from? Is it the starter?

The click is coming from the solenoid, not the starter. Any more advise?
