I just keep having one issue after another with this truck, the latest is the truck will not start. I was checking the voltage of my door locks and it got dark so I went to move the truck in the garage and it make a loud click noise and then nothing, the truck has driven great all day, battery is 12.6v, I attempted to jump the posts on the relay and again just a loud click, I bought a new relay and the starter is practically brand new. All the post I read say check your grounds, so I did notice the ground from the battery to the fender ground is holding on by 5 strands, it is badly in need of repair, I am going to autozone tomorrow and going to buy a new cable, is that ground on the fender the ground that supply's the starter? Where is the starter ground connection? Also what items does that ground on the fender supply.

Frame & Battery pic in a 93; "...With the wheelwell gone, it's easy to inspect the frame ground, just inboard of the spring tower on top of the frame rail. The battery ground cable is stripped ~3/4" and a tab is soldered on so it can be bolted to the frame..."02groundframe.jpg
