Ranger won't start

I have a 1994 Ranger that was starting fine up until yesterday.Now it won't start.It has a new battery,and starter relay,all terminals are clean and all it does is "click" when the ignition is turned.Could this be the starter selenoid?I don't know what else to check and clean.It was leaking some steering fliud all over the drivers side wheelwell but I cleaned all the connectors on that side and even down under the vehicle by the starter.It started after I cleaned everything but today it won't start again just the "click" sound form the starter relay.Any advice would be very helpfull,thankyou in advance.

what happens if ya try to jump start it? if it starts its the battery, if it doesnt then you will need to start all the troubleshooting on the system. Jump the start solenoid and see what it does, the relay may be but it will most likely be the battery being either bad or low charged. You said its new but they do come from the dealer bad.
