Default 95 ranger super- no start - leaves me stranded

no crank , no start

when i turn the key, i get a loud clicking

im getting the 12v at the small starter wire, when key in start position

then i cleaned the wires on the strter relay mounted on the fender between battery and power dis. box

still same thing

then i jumped the 2 wires on the starter (i read it should crank if the starter relay is bad)

I got the same loud clicking

not sure if i should get a new relay or what? anything else i can do here ?

Default Re: 95 ranger super- no start - leaves me stranded

I got it started, it was a grounding/connection problem.

First I removed the main ground on the tranny and the terminals on the starter relay - cleaned them up with emery cloth

it sort of cranked slow, still no start but better

then i did the chassis ground at the battery and the battery terminals (both terminals were new 8 months ago but they really seem to corrode up fast

After this its nice and sharp to start

funny how it would seem to start no problem all the time, and then over night it just wont let enough voltage through
