Sounds like a dead battery
have a load test done on the battery
reading voltage with a multimeter gives a wrong indication of the capacity of the battery as it will read 12 volts but under load ( such as starting) that voltage can drop to under 5 volts with a bad battery
Good batteries under load will not drop to less than 11 volts

Why won't my truck start?

Are you pulling the arm all the way back up. If not, the ignition is still on and you could be draining the battery. also check the alternator, they can short out on the inside. The solenoid is on the right fender well, do you have the single wire on the correct post

Car won't turn over. Lights stay on, battery recently replaced. Just won't turn over. Jump didn't work

look for the starter(up top sitting over transmission) and have someone hit it (not too hard)with a hammer while key is held in the crank position,if car starts you will have to ck connections at starter ,if ok you need another starter,reman starters of any age are never as good as the originals,just not cost effective to buy brand new,too expensive!

93 LX 5.0 replaced battery, ran fine then would not start

sounds like you have a good battery, get the car started put a voltmeter to wire connected to the back of your alternator. if you have at least 13.25 volts you have a good unit if any lower replace the alternator
the click sound you are hearing comes from your relay it is getting low voltage from the battery. because the battery has no juice caused by a bad alternator


hope to help shack
