Starting Issues

Any help, tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am at a loss. From reading other posts, I can tell you the fuel pump is kicking on. When I hit the starter all I get is a clicking sound. The genius that I am, put in a new starter and I get the same sound. Charged the battery and that hasn't helped. I tried to put up a video of the sound, but can't seem to figure that out.

Thank you,

Paul
 
The clicking is a relay or solenoid. Check the voltage at the battery with a volt meter while pressing the starter button and hearing the clicking. I suspect bad battery.
 
Thanks

Thanks for the tips gentlemen. I checked the connection and the ground as well as putting a volt meter on the battery and starting. Looks like it was a bad battery along.

Thank you and have a great week!
