    My 1986ford ranger clicks once won't start. Lights come on.
    It's my son's truck. A 1986 ranger. New ground wires didn't fix it. New starter, new solenoid. Clicks once but the starter won't do anything.

    . Remove and fully charge or replace the battery. Many auto parts stores will test and charge batteries for free.

    . Clean battery terminals and cable connections, including those going to the starter motor.
