91 Explorer won't start

91 Explorer won't start when cold (-5C). The solenoid just clicks. Last week the starter seemed to be dragging when starting. I had the battery checked, it was fine. The starter was checked and it was drawing a lot of amps, so I changed the starter with a recycled one. It sounded much better. The next morning it wouldn't start only click. I checked all wiring and cables were tight. The clicking was the solenoid so I changed it. Everything fine again till the next morning. Click, click click ^&$^(&)*& start. I read that the positive cable can get corroded inside the covering. Can this be the problem? Or what else might it be?

Are the terminals on the battery clean and are the cables attached tightly to the post? You also might want to check or replace the cables.
