won't turn over
I went to get in mt 94 ranger and tried to start it but it just clicked. I got out my charger and after it charged it still just clicked. I see no corison on the battery. Could the solinoid be bad?

easily! be sure your truck is on 'P' and try carefully jump solenoid lugs (8mm lugs). If starter motor works, just change solenoid.....
Funny to see how you will open hood to start engine every day driving to work! )))

Thanks for the advice Pablo
I just went out to take a look at the battery again. i remove the + terminal and saw a little oxidation no corision, i clean it up and the truck is now running.

The clamp could have loosened a bit too from weather & vibration. Sometimes that's all it seems to take if you're in a hurry. Just don't over-tighten it. That could also explain oxidation insulating the post for different circumstances. Always seems to be the negative side. I put a Scosche "platinum" terminal (car audio) on my negative side. Not much good for boosting others though. Stays tight better & then the plastic-handled combo wrench set easier to stash & work with 20 degrees below freezing. Also easier to plug goodies in, change fusible links & such.
O yeah, is the battery hold-down in place & snug?
