I don't think the clicking you are hearing is your starter. That is probably the glow plug controller. It should start clicking after 5-15 seconds depending on how cold it is where you are. Starts clicking when the "wait to start" light goes out on the dash board.
I am afraid I can't help with the wiring except to volunteer to take a picture of mine (91 F250) and email it to you. I am also new to diesels and have ordered a copy of Haynes Diesel engine repair manual. Several folks told me it was quite good. Should be in later this week.
Not knowing if you have an auto or manual, are you pushing the clutch in to start it when key is turned. How many posts are on the fender relay 3 or 4.
