My truck won't do anything but click when I turn the key over. So far, I have replaced the battery and starter. I have had problems with this but eventually it would start after 10-40 times of turning the key. Now, my starter burnt up the other day and I replaced it but now when I go to start it I have the same thing happening. I have tried jumping it from another battery just to make sure that wasn't the problem. Anyone have an idea on what to check next.
Thanks

check to see if you have an imobiliser that you have forgotten to turn off or that you didn't know about is turned off. also check the earth lead on solinoid thats all i can think of at the mo

check your fuses, i had a blown fuse for the ignition in my 97 tacoma, mine was in a fuse box under the hood, the starter could have blown it before it went bad

i am having the exact same prob.all it does is click from what sounds like the relay box. the wires/terminals were coroded so i cleaned and trimed the wires. i have tried jumping it, replaced the starter and battery checked the fuses and relays. i am completely stumped. can the alternator cause a no start?

Bad starter or starter contacts. DIY for starter contact replacement:
