Ignition trouble need HELP

I have a 96 Bronco XL 5.0l <a href="http://www.motorhaven.com/">302 </a>EFI...Every once in a while when I turn the key to start it I just recieve a click noise from the relay and nothing from the starter. I have replaced the starter twice, relay and celonoid so they are all new. Could it be a battery connection problem? No real corrosion I can see.

i would replace both cables going to the battery. corrosion somtimes is inside the wire, also be sure to get like 1 gauge.

Good advice on the new cables. Also try looking at the negative cable connection, where it bolts to the engine block. This connection is often overlooked.

We're assuming the battery itself is OK.......?
