Default Starting Issue

So as my signature says, I have an 06 XL 3.0L 4x4 with just over 71,000 miles on it. So on Thursday I went to go to class and I went to start my truck, turn the key over and I hear one click and then nothing and no start. So today I had the battery tested and its at 100% so I replaced two 40 amp fuses in the fuse box under the hood for starter solenoid and ignition switch. And still no start. So any ideas? I also replaced the starter about 2 years ago. Thanks for any suggestions

Still could be the starter or the selenoid which is part of the starter. Take the starter off and have it tested at autozone or the like. I had one break after 30 days. Teeth shredded off the gear in the starter.

Yeah the guy at autozone said that it could be the starter. I just don't want to take it off again cuz it's a pain to get out and put back in. I've also heard maybe the coil pack or camshaft synchro.

The ends on the battery aren't corroded at all. I could check the ones on the end of the starter

Yeah I checked them and they are fine. I kinda think its the starter solenoid but I'm just pissed that I have to take it off because those 3 bolts are in the worst possible spots. So I haven't got it off yet lol

I agree. This is an electrical issue. Take the wire terminals off the battery posts and clean both surfaces that touch (terminals and posts). I had the same issue, the posts looked clean/the starter clicked/battery was 100%charged.
