Hi my truck will not start when i turn the ignition is just click i just changed the starter and it still just click just got a new battery in a couple of weeks ago


Answer:

If the truck has a Fully charged battery and a correctly installed starter and you are getting one hard click and the dash lights/head lights do not go out when it clicks. Then the engine may be locked up and you will need to confirm it isn't by putting a socket on the end of the crank shaft and turning it.

If there is a click , click , click (repeated clicks) then the battery is bad ( even if it is new)

If you get a short click and the dash-lights/head lights go out when this happens, then your connections at the battery are loose/dirty/corroded or the battery cables are corroded internally or where the battery cables goto the ground and or starter are loose/dirty/corroded. These are the only options unless this is a ford then you may have a failed fender mounted solenoid.
