Starting Problem

Please help. I have a 2004 Expedition 5.4L that is just making a repeating "clicking" sound when I turn the key. The lights work fine, and my relatively new battery charger says that the battery is at full charge. Any thoughts?

Possibly a shorted starter winding.

Figured it out

Thanks for the reply. I am embarrased to say we found out it was in fact the battery! After jumping from another vehicle, it started fine, and with a new battery today, all is well (for now).
