93 2.3L starting problems

[tmitchell91]

I have been redoing a 93 ranger trying to get it running. I have replaced my complete under the hood wireing harness. I had the truck running but then it just wouldnt start. I got my starter test three times at two diffrent stores. came back good replaced my started relay. Yet the silonid is just clicking. I have been told to try replaceing my engine ground. I know that it is a wire problem becuase the guy i got it from gave me two starters that he said were just "clicking" yet everytime i put them on they worked for me. So my question is does anyone have any advise on what might be wrong?

Test the battery

I was thinking the same thing the other day when I read this. Would be funny if it was just the battery. My battery died 2-3 years ago all the sudden. I was thinking all sorts of things could be wrong, nope, just the battery.

It wouldn't even jump start with the dead battery.

I wish I would have put a Motor craft battery back in. The original lasted from 94 to 2007. The place that changed my battery about pooped when he saw it was the original. And I had loaded it with some hefty car audio stuff during that time. The alternator is pretty stout in these things too though, my alternator is original from 94 to 2011 also. It's gotta quit some time.
