I have a 1990 Ford F350 diesel pickup. When I turn the key to start the engine all that happens are clicks.I have had the batteries test-ok. The starter tested-ok. The starter relay was replaced-still nothing.I've put on new battery cables-still hearing clicks. The clicking is coming from the starter relay and the starter solniad. Need some help with this problem.

[quote="peppermrj"]Can the engine be turned over by hand?[/Quote]I'm not sure what you mean by turn over by hand.I can pull start the truck and the engine wii start. Another test that I've done was to put a jumper wire from the positive battery cable to the starter relaytop post-still clicks. Any Help will be GREAT

Engine can't be locked up if you can get it to catch in gear.
I'm betting on a bad solenoid.

Send me an email and I will send you a troubleshooting diagram.

Good luck and let us know. :)
