Trying to help my dad fix his truck. He started having problems with it "clicking" when turning to start position. He decided to replace starter and selonoid. Now it still wont start. I tried replacing starter relay and still wont crank. I was going to put another neutral safety switch but the one I got didn't match old one so I have not pulled it out yet. What else could it be?
Also his automatic shifter has not been able to go into Park for over a year and he has been starting in neutral.

The "clicking" is probably the solenoid trying to fire, and the real problem is that it isn't getting any juice from the battery - checked the voltage?

The battery might need recharging. Try jump-starting it. If that doesn't work, it might be a bad battery. Ask your dad when he got it. If he says it's been about 5 or 6 years, then it's time for a new one.

I know the battery is good. It was starting sometimes and clicking others I guess. Gonna try the neutral saftey switch again and check voltage
