EXPLORER YEAH!!!
Turn key, one click of the starter maybe? And nothing after. I replaced the battery thinking it was that cleaned up all my grounds and still one click and nothing. I think it might be my starter is done for. Stupid question but where is it? Can someone just post a picture? I know it looks like a long metal cylinder but I'm having a rough time and I start work at 5.

you should see it back by the oil filter area.

it hangs backwards, off the transmission. Sometimes a whack with a hammer will make it go.
 






Might be your battery cables. The 91-94 were known for having internal corrosion problems. It won't be visible from the outside, but you will get a high resistance reading on the cables.
 






Didn't get too work I think it still might be my starter which I found and need to remove which I will work on tomorrow. I'm really hoping that is it though.

So how do I check for the internal corrosion? cut that sucker? or just replace the wires?
 






When it goes CLICK do you lose power to everything until you turn the key off and back on again? If so that's an indicator of the battery cables/connections.

Try pulling the starter and putting power to it, see if it spins over with no load on it.
