91 Explorer
I have a 91 explorer, not long ago I got in to start it and there was nothing.
I charged the battery and nothing still, I replaced the starter, battery and solinoid but it still wont start, all I get is the solinoid clicking when I turn the key.
Can anyone please help me!

Did you check the cable? I have seen them corode on the inside as deep as 14 inches. You couldn't tell due to the insulation.
 






it also may be your starter stuck in or out....where are you located??? we will send someone right over...just kidding...but you could look at your starter connections and if all else fails, thump the side of the starter with the handle of the screwdriver and listen for a click...then try starting it...
 






doubt it is a starter problem with new starter and solenoid. never know though. i would check the resistance in the starter wire to eliminate corrosion as a possibility or use dvom to see if you have 12 volts at starter. if you do and still not turning over, try to manually turn crank with a breaker bar, something may be tied up. usually a good idea to take belt off to eliminate othe accessories from being the problem. then check to make sure they are all free spinning too. hope all goes well.;)
 






Well I got it started, turns out it was just a bad connection on the battery terminal, took them both apart and cleaned them and it works.
Thanks everyone for the info.
