96 Bronco won't start, it's not the battery
I feel dumb here, turn the key and just a click. I swapped the battery out from my other truck and nothing. Then I put the Bronco battery in my other truck and it started right up. The only thing I have messed with recently is I put in a new stereo. It also makes this beep boop beep boop sound now sometimes when I open or close the door, don't know if that's the truck or the stereo! Any ideas?

It's most likely either a bad connection at the battery cable posts, or the starter itself. I would clean both cable ends where they meet at the battery, and then also slide under the truck and clean the cable connections that are at the starter as well. I'l probably clean those first (starter connections) so you can take them off scrub them down without worrying about the positive battery cable accidentally touching a ground while you're down there.
Then I'd clean the cable posts and try again. My truck would do that all the time if my battery cable connections or starter cable connections were dirty.

That's good to hear glad it worked! Eventually you may want to take the connection off and try and clean it up, but it will probably work for a while now!
