Truck won't start and making clicking noise under the steering wheel when the key is out of it. I have checked the battery starter and the generator and there all good. I have also tried to reset the computer & the engine doesnt turn it just clicks once and shuts down power to the dash board lights and radio I think it has something to do with the anti thief but im not sure

A clicking starter usually indicates a weak battery or bad connection. Have you checked to make sure battery terminals are clean and tight? Have you checked the ground to the engine block? Starter relay? Have you had the battery load tested?

Locate the relay causing the clicking and switch it with another that has the same part number.
