Wont start

Im no mechanic but i try to learn as i go. I have a 2001 f250 7.3L turbo and it has been running great. just this morning i switched out my ac compressor and put everything back together but now it wont start. I checked my cam sensor plug , fuel filter ect.... but when i crank it over there is a clicking sound under my dash? I am at a total loss. any help you be great.

When u were over there changing your compressor, did you knock the small wire off the solenoid on the inside of the right fender? It should be right behind your battery on that side.

Are u saying it turns over but does not fire off or it will not turn over?

I would guess you did not tighten your batt connections or they are dirty. This has bit me more than once.
