So, I've had this issue a few times in the past. Every now and then when I go to start my truck it would not start and there would be a click on the firewall. Like I said I've had the issue a few times before, the first time it was a bad battery, the second it was the same issue, and the latest other than this time was a bad starter. So I'm just a bit confused because I have replaced the starter and have tried to charge my battery and I've checked for corrosion. Please help.

Hello,

The starting circuit on your vehicle is about as basic as you can get. From the Starting Circuit Wiring Diagram which I have included in the diagrams down below it looks like it is either going to be your vehicle's ignition switch or the solenoid on the starter itself. From what you described it sounds like it is probably going to be the solenoid on the starter itself. Here is a link on how to check your vehicle's starter below:

Please go through this guide and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
