Your battery may be to old to even hold a charge. try charging it a little longer and if you have a volt meter ,you should read about 12.5v. if not ,then you need a new battery.
The most common reason for your 1999 Ford Ranger pickup truck not to start is a battery that needs to be charged. Charge the battery for a minimum of 15 minutes.
It very well could be that one of more of your cells in the battery is dead and so the battery will not hold a charge anymore. Even if your charging system is working properly, the battery still won't hold a charge no matter how long you charge it. If you've charged your battery numerous times or if it's been drained numerous times (for example, left the lights on like I do all the time), you may need to replace it with a new battery.
The noise is difficult to diagnose over a forum, but if the battery is charged correctly, and is hissing as you put it, the starter motor may not be working correctly, get a second opinion from a garage
you either have an electric short somewhere so check all ur wires to make sure none of them are frayed, nicked or showing bare copper also check to make sure everything has a good connection. another thing is it could be that you have a bad solenoid and need it replaced
Could be anything electrical drawing current. Alternator could be bad, glove box, trunk, hood light not going out. The battery or cables being very dirty can give the battery enough connection to ground and drain the battery. Battery itself could be bad and not holding a charge.
If you charge the battery and it is not working then there is something wrong with the battery. Batteries are not usually repairable.
Your car may need power steering fluid if it makes a buzzing noise when you turn the wheel.
there is probley something wrong with your battery
Dead battery? Loose or corroded battery cable?
that buzzing noise is the relays flicking back and forth at high speeds, you most likely need to replace, or recharge your battery, as relays will only buzz if there is not enough power to keep a stable connection
charger i had was wired wrong. soon as it was plugged in the charger stopped working. if wires are wrong it just will not charge and can be dangerous!
No. A battery that's real empty may charge that much for the first few minutes, but that's it. If it continues to charge that hard there's something wrong with either battery or charger.

dead battery or bad starter (with the clicking, I'm 95% sure its the battery)
Two MOST probable in the order I'd be checking....Low battery charge or defective battery....Loose or corroded battery cable connections. Secondly, you possibly have a defective starter or starter solenoid. Good Luck! Dub
You can't recharge it hooked up in reverse. You will destroy the battery or the charger if you try it.
Most likely a bad connection with your contact points.
