Default 1998 Ranger XL died while driving and won't start

I was driving to work the other day and my truck died, just the engine though. All my lights and radio were still on. Now it will not start. I've done changed the starter, replaced the battery, and got the alternator checked. I've even taken the new battery and put it on the charger to make sure it was full and still nothing. When I try to start it regularly it just makes one click, and won't even try to turn over. When I tried jumping the battery it just made a repetitive click, but still won't turn over or even try to. All my lights, radio, etc still comes on though. Can someone help me to figure out what's wrong. Thank you

Sounds like it could be the starter solenoid.
