Bronco won't start, HELP!

When I first tried to start it all it did was made a loud buzzing noize from the cylinoid. Ok, that's easy, put in a new starter. I go and get the starter tested before buying a new one, they tell me it's shot. It actually spit out sparks when they put it on the machine. Go put the new one in, same thing. So I replace the cylinoid. Same thing. My battery cables look good, and everthing I can think of (connectionwise) is on tight. Theres no corrosion on my terminals. I was thinking maybe my battey was no good, but when I put the engine starter on it, everything works (lights, radio, wipers etc) and I get the same stupid noise. I'm out of ideas, help me out. It's a 2,8 liter v6.

you may want to make sure your cylinoid has a good ground to the body, then make sure your body has a good ground to the frame. I wounld put a wire from the negitive terminal to the truck body somewhere near the cylinoid.

The negative battery cable and the bolt holding it on were bad. I got it running, thanks for the advice!
