Tries to crank and then just clicks. Two good batteries but won't start. Alternate and starter both good.

Hi,

If the batteries are good, the connections are clean and tight, and you are getting a click, we need to do some checking.

First, let's confirm that all fuses are good and they are getting power both to them and from them. I attached the entire wiring schematic for the starting system on your truck. In pic 1, I highlighted fuses and the starter relay. In addition to checking the fuses, make sure there is power present to them. Here is a link you may find helpful:

Pics 3 and 4 show fuse and relay locations. I highlighted them for you.

As far as the relays, if there is a different one having the same part number, switch them to see if it makes a difference. If there isn't one to switch with, here is a link that explains how to test a relay:

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions. Also, if you haven't, check for power at the starter s terminal. Here is a link that explains how to test it:

Take care,
