Why wont your 1987 ford ranger start you only hear a clicking noise from the solenoid?
The solenoid will sometimes buzz or click if it isn't receiving enough current to turn the starter. The failing battery could be a cause. This can be checked at any auto parts store. If you can jump the truck and drive it down, they can check it right in the parking lot. Otherwise, you'll have to remove it. The second thing it could be (and this actually happened to me) is that it could be a bad cable. There is a positive cable that is about 12 inches long that runs from the positive terminal of the battery over to the solenoid on the fender. You might try cleaning it or trying to make better contact with the battery. In my case, I had to replace it completely which cost me all of $5. The solenoid itself is a potential cause which runs about $25 in any discount auto store. It takes only a few minutes to replace and if it doesn't work, most stores will accept it back for a refund. Lastly, it could be the starter but it is unlikely. The reason most solenoids buzz or click is because they aren't receiving enough juice from the battery to start with. If you have a bad alternator (also can be checked at any auto parts store) it might not be charging your battery. Or the battery might be bad (happens alot in severely cold and hot weather). Or terminal connections or bad and/or corroded cables.

Check the starter solenoid, starter ground resistance, and voltage out of thesolenoid when activated. If the solenoid is not clicking then the issue is either the relay or the fuse to the solenoid.
