Electrical problem
1985 Ford F-100 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual alot miles

1985 Ford f150 inline 6 haul wood every year for the last 4 years got it for 600 and it has been reliable went to start battery somewhat drained already turned over slightly the hood was up and I noticed a spark coming from near the starter relay. Replaced relay cause it's inexpensive and no dice. Took starter to Autozone and it fired up battery is fully charged. When you turn the key you get lights an emision lite thet stays on and a red light that comes on for 7 seconds or so while you hear a buzz for about 7 seconds only. No click no starter engaging. Any clue. I am about to roll it down the hill to the mechanic and I hate to spend money but electricity is not my strong point.

Double check the battery and conditions if okay start testing the transmision range switch/NSS and ignition switch
