96 Bronco won't start

Hello, this is my first post to this board. I have a 96 Eddie Bauer Bronco, 66,000 miles. My problem is that after parking it this am, I tried to start the thing and got the click click click like a dead battery. The battery however is charged and I also tried a jump box. Seems to be plenty of juice. I am not a mechanic obviously, so any ideas? If so, can I simply change out a part or have it towed to a service station. Thanks for your help.

Yes as screwy says....check your leads, and also check the terminals. Make very sure the ground connections are clean and tight. If you do nit find the problem there check your starter relay on the right side inner fender wall.

If you have a Hayns manual it gives a outstanding troubleshooting guide for "no start" conditions.
