Could be: park netural switch, battery, battery cable, starter or just battery connections. check the b. connections first. Have you tried to jump it?
Check for power to the starter by having somebody else try to start it while you check for power there. If there is power replace starter if not check the above.
Have you checked the key switch and the neutral safety switch for power ? Its possible jumping the battery was just a coincidence.
There is also a possibility the starter is not good even tho you have replaced it.
Yes there is a starter relay in the wiring diagram. The yellow and lite blue wire goes from the starter solenoid to the relay. There is a yellow wire from the relay to a 30amp fuse. The key switch powers thru the neutral safety switch and then powers the relay on.
It sounds like you probably have a shorted battery cell. This will not only cause the repeated clicking that you described, but it will also rob power when jump-starting from another vehicle. There is probably enough power when jump starting to turn the starter over, but after the starter take the power that it needs, there is not enough power to operate the computer system....so I have no doubt that you probably are not getting any fuel. The computer has to tell the fuel pump to run. If there is no power for the computer....I think you can figure it out from here.
I would have to say it's the starter itself. When you replaced the battery it most likely had enough power to turn the starter which is probably dragging. If that is in fact the case, I'll bet that it starts fine when jumped.
If you can jump start it from another vehicle , the starter is not the problem. Most likely a low battery , or dirty connections at the battery posts / cables.
You said you tightened the battery cables, did you check the other end of the negative where it bolts to the engine. When you tightened the cables you also used a battery brush and cleaned the posts and ends?
YOU COULD HAVE A VERY BAD CONTECTION FROM BATTERY TO STARTER, TRY TO ATTACH LEAD DIRECT TO STARTER (LARGE FEED CONTECTOR) FROM JUMP BATTERY AND THEN CRANK WITH FULL BATTERY, IF SAME STARTER IS JAMMED OR SIEZING UP
