93 Explorer won't start

I have a 93 Explorer, haven't had any major mechanical problems until now. I tried to start it yesterday, and all I get is a "click"... and that's it. It doesn't even try to crank. I've replaced the starter, the starter relay, the battery, and I'm at a loss as to what else it could be. I've tested all the wiring and its fine. I need some ideas as to what else it could possibly be!!!!!!!

could be a bad starter or you possibly have corrosion in one of you connections. How did you test the wiring?

I know that's the kind of behavior I get when one of my battery post clamps gets a little loose.

My biggest problem right now is that when battery cables go bad or are damaged, don't they lose continuity??

When cables corrode as mentioned above, they can still show continuity but resistance has increased to a point where they can not carry the required amps to turn the starter. Have you tried jumping direct to the stater to see if it will turn over?

Ernie's correct. Multimeters (especially digital ones) don't put enough current into the cable to find faults like that.
