truck wont start!!

When turning the ignition, all electrical comes on but all the engine does is a loud click and wont turn over. checked all the simple things such as battery, fuses, etc. but still wont start. i dont have a diagnostics so seeing if anyone has had a similar problem or knows whats causing this. thanks

 

Have you tried jumpstarting it? It sounds like either a connection problem or starter. You can tap the starter with a hammer while someone keeps clicking the key to the start position. If it starts, you'll need a starter verry soon.

 

yeah i tried jumping it. i swapped out the battery with a good one afterwards and it still didt start so maybe it is the starter. ill try tapping and see what happens

 

It can also be a connection problem.

 

yup, just checked and looks like one of the connectors was corroded and snapped off. tried holding it to the connector and had someone turn the key and still wont turn over. think itd be worth it to replace the starter too?

 

I'd repair the connection and see if that's all you need.
