Default 94 ranger starting issue

Hi all,

I have a 94 ranger and it will not start. i noticed a slower than normal start yesterday a few times and when i came out for work this morning it would not start. I have all lights, wipers, etc and the battery is less than a year old. Now when i go to crank it, it clicks once and does nothing else. i am thinking a bad ground or relay but am trying to find out any thoughts on it. the slow start came on very suddenly and 12 hours later no start at all. thanks for the help

Misread your post the first time. Could be the starter.

so you have headlights now but it is just clicking. see if you can jump the fender solenoid/relay. could be bad fender relay, bad starter/connection, bad "starter control circuit"

I would pull your starter out it is pretty simple, and take it to a place like autozone, or advance auto parts that offers free testing and see what the machine says.
