1998 Toyota Camry 4 cyl Automatic 190000 miles

I own a 1998 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder - it started to have trouble starting the batteries terminals were dirty so I removed them and clean them one broke so I replaced them with new ones and cleaned both post before I reinstalled them. Now my car won't start. Check the battery it has 12 volts. Put my charger on just to be on the safe side. The starter is making noise. Removed starter and bench test works great. Put back in same thing. Finally I replaced the starter with a new one and still have same problem will not crank the car over. KIP CLICkING""""But wont start. Have check the engine and it is not seized and check the fuses.
Please help this thing has me puzzled
Thanks for your time Bill

Have the battery load tested if okay-start checking the starter relay, park and neutral switch and ignition switch

Per Rasmatz, check battery voltage while cranking. It should not drop much below 9 volts. Battery has almost no power when down to 12 volts. It should be over 13 Volts, and more like 13.8 Volts.
