Engine Mechanical problem
1989 Ford Mustang 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

MY CAR WONT TURN OVER. I TESTED THE BATTERY IT SEEMS TO BE GOOD, I BENCH TESTED THE STARTER AND IT IS GOOD, I REPLACED THE STARTER SELINOID. 3 WEEKS AGO I REPLACED THE IGNITION MODULE AND THE IGNITION SWITCH.
THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I TRY TO START THE CAR THE SELINOID WILL JUST MAKE A BUZZING NOISE. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
