The other day, my truck ran fine in the morning, then in the afternoon I went to start it and as soon as I turned the key in the ignition, nothing happened. The truck does click, but only once and doesn't try to turn over at all. I have had the battery tested and it was fine, and I've also changed the starter solenoid, but it didn't make a difference. This leads me to believe it is the starter, but I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to cars. Someone else told me possibly a ground wire? But, as I said as soon as the key is turned, there is only one click, not repeated clicks.
