Angry Bronco won't start....Please HELP!!!!!!!

Hey guys, to make a long story short my Bronco won't start. When I have it hooked to the battery charger (turned to 200amp engine start) all it makes is a whirling sound and clicking sound. When it's not hooked to that it dudn't make a sound. I know the battery is good. I'm thinking that I have a short someplace. Has this happend to anyone else? Any ideas?

check grounds

check all the grounds if they are all hooked and not corroded crawl under the truck with a hammer and tap the started sounds like you might have a locked up solinoid on the starter the tapping will let it return if the tap works get a new starter couse your livin on borrowed time also you can try to jump the solinoid on the firwall with a screwdriver might be bad also time good luck

Alrighty, I'll have to give that a try tomorrow after work. I know it's not the solinioed (or however the hell you spell it) cause I just put a new one on.
