My engine will not crank over why?

Clutch safety switch had a loose wire and fuses needed to be replaced. Thank you for your time. Merry Christmas.

Hey I own a 2007 ford ranger 2.3 liter with a 5 speed manual, it started last October and I took it to a Ford Fact lab and they recommended a new battery. I put a new battery in it and it worked just fine for a few months but now it will not start. Whenever I am driving my tach, speedometer, and coolant gauge all quit working. My odometer will read and wont tell me my miles. If I shut it off in this condition it will not start the security light just flashes, and the truck will not crank. Help please.

Moved truck to cut grass & when I went to move back it was dead. No lights or anything electric. The only noise is a clicking in the fuse panel under dash board, that is semi continual like a blinker. This noise starts & stops on its own regardless if the keys or you are in truck.

No fuses are blown & the (Pos Bat Terminal) goes to ground. I have the Bat leads disconnected & can find no place where a wire is shorted & bare against frame or ground?

The Bat is disconnected & reads over 10 volts & a Bat charger reads fully charged.

Yes!

(Pos Bat Terminal) goes to ground with just neg Bat lead connected. The Pos Bat Lead goes to ground even when it is disconnected.

OK Thanks!
That will be my next move.

Opened cab door first thing this morning and heard clicking sound. Tried to start truck but nothing happened. Tried jumping but still would not start. Verified the lights work for headlights, brakes, and emergency flashers, but turn signals do not work. Could this be electrical issue or could starter could clicking noise even if no key in the ignition?

My motor only turns a quarter turn before it comes to a dead stop when we try and start it. Back it off and it will do the same thing again. What does this sound like?

Truck won't start sometimes, it will click once but most of the time it doesn't do anything. Ran perfectly fine all day and then went to go start and nothing. It has happened once before and I wiggled the smaller wires on the positive and negative cable and it started so when I bought a new battery 6 months ago I replace the cables and connectors on smaller wires thinking maybe it was a connection problem. I tried wiggling the wires today and could only get it to click once. Any suggestions on how to narrow this down? I have power. Headlights come on radio runs but when I turn to the on position you can hear it cut out sometimes on all the chiming it does on the on position. Would it be best to have the starter bench checked or replace the wiring? I don't think it's the starter I think it's just a bad or loose connection but I'm not sure where to start.

Clicks but does not start. Battery tests good. Whats wrong?

Truck was working fine before frame was replaced. Now when I turn the key the speedometer shows my speed as 120 mph, the truck stays in park. Fuel pump won't stop working. Nothing else works. Lights won't come on.
