I have an older 1987 Ford Ranger , V-6, auto. With about 200K miles. I have 'kept up' the truck, and it serves well. In the last month, I have driven only on the weekends. Sat of this week I jump in and tried to start. NO nothing. It did not even make a clicking sound that sometimes ocure when a battery is low/almost dead. I connected up my battery charger and made contact with the posts. It was then that I heard a fast clicking sound. It came from the fender wall over by the solenoid. on the left side . I don't reconize the part, and I am not sure that 'it" has anything to do with the problem. But it is about the size of a bic cig lighter and black. Would anyone have a clue as to what it is, could it be some of my problem, I may wind up calling my mechanic, I would like tell him , other than ,,,'it wiill not start,or make noise. ???? Thanks in advance. cl.
