2004 F150 Starter Just "Clicks"-Need Expert Help
Here is my problem: I have a 2004 F150 4x4 5.4 V8 and I cant get the starter to turn. I replaced all the relays and fuses and all I get is a "click" from the starter nose coming out but wont spin. It has a new battery and a new starter.

you need to follow items in the above thread: wiring, battery, starter. When was battery and starter replaced - did the truck start with new components?

Starter issues
Long shot but this did happen to me. Had a truck where the ground strap to the engine had a lock washer on it and it had about 1/3 break off. Apparently wasn't doing a good job on grounding the engine so the starter only clicked. Checked the battery, relay, starter etc and found nothing wrong. Wasn't until did some unconventional wiring/testing, we found that if we grounded the starter to the frame using some extra jumper cables it suddenly worked. Once we knew what was wrong, it was an easy fix.
