I just replaced a new battery. New alternator and remaufactured stater with solenoid. It started for 3 days and now it won't start, a clicking sound is being made each time I turn the key. This is the second starter which was tested after taking the first one back and it was tested both test pass. What could be the problem with my truck please tell me or send someone my way to fix it. Thanks have a great day!

Get the battery load tested if okay double check battery connections make sure its clean and properly tightened. If it continues your possible causes could be the starter, park and neutral switch and ignition switch

Thank you sooooo much, it was my battery terminals that were not clean, but I couldn't see it because it was behind some washers I used to get a better torque. Are stainless steel bolts okay to use on the battery psot for maximum tightness?
