93 e150 won't start
First, let me say Hello to everyone! I am new here.
Secondly, I did do a search, but haven't seen this particular, or I didn't search with the right terms
1993 Ford E-150 5.0L V8.
Been sitting, unused for about 2 years.
Put in brand new battery. Van powers up ok. Electrical looks good from what I can tell (radio ok, headlights ok, interior lights ok, etc.).
When I try to crank the van, nothing happens.
Starter tests good.
I do hear a single click (like a relay) when I try to crank the van, but *it is not the starter clicking*. I am not sure what it is, or if it even matters.
The problem exists between the battery and the starter.
Fuses all seem good.
Any ideas?

Try cleaning the connections at both sides of the starter relay.

I my memory serves, follow the smaller diameter cable from the positive side of the battery, it should be right close to the battery somewhere on the fender well.
It will look something like this, but maybe black.

I will start with the plugs first.
