ok so i started out the day replacing my wiper motor since it seemed to be shot. i plug the new one in and it all worked fine. started tearing into it and go the old one out and new one in. went to flip the switch and no go. At this point i am dumbfounded as to why it is not working. it was getting late so i take it out and plan to return it. shut the hood and go try to start my truck and i got noting i hear a big click then nothing battery is brand spanking new since yesterday ant it was running fine all day. when i replaced the battery i also replaced the ground cable and moved it to the alternato bottom bolt. but it was running fine since i did tha and the volt gauge was fine. no dropping. So the next thing we do is try to jump it i can get power threw my buddies truck meaning all the lights work and what not but it doesent have enough to turn it over. what could have gone wrong?

You say with cables your lights will turn on, but when trying to turn it over you just get a click?
If thats right i got this awhile ago. Can you jump it with a screw driver from the selonoid? If it still just clicks, check your connections from the selonoid to
the starter. Take them off, clean gunk, and tighten them good.
Hope that helps
