I parked my truck after driving it. I went back out and it would not start it was making a clicking sound like the starter was going out of the battery was dead. Battery was not dead and all the fuses were good so I changed the starter and still get the same light and starter clicking sound. If I pull the fuse for the starter out the red light and the clicking goes away and my dashboard is normal. And if I wiggle the fuse around the clicking sound changes and the red light dims out or goes black. The only thing I can think is loose wires underneath my fuse box. Any ideas and thanks for the help.

Try resetting security system if no owners manual look online for your car on how to do it. Then check starter relay and fuses under hood.
