Instant O/O and Load boards

I went out and realized I had left my inverter in the socket all day. Turned the key and nothing happened.

Brought my van out to charge it (HO Alt and 2 Optima Yellowtops, does the trick ok)... after an hour still nothing. All interior power fine, voltmeter showing bats fully charged at that point.

I checked all the relays and fuses, the fuel relay pump kicks on, but it won't turn at all, not even a gasp.

I had the starter replaced the first couple weeks I bought the truck. It had suddenly developed a dead spot. If this one did that too, I don't know how to turn it. I got down there and looked at it, even hit it with a wrench.. kinda weak since no good angle though.

 

I hear a click-CLICK when the fuel relay pump doesn't kick on. I've had an ongoing problem where sometimes I have to go smack the relay to get it to fire up. When that does kick on I don't notice the clicking sound. There is definitely a click but I don't know what is making the noise, I assume it's probably that.

The relay in the Ign spot is sort of burnt up and gets hot, but it generally still works. Tonight I realized I had 4 of the same model numbers of relays between the front fuse box and the bunk fuse box, I switched them all out to different places.

Would the solenoid be separate from the starter or built in? When I was under there I saw a couple skinny wires going to something that looked like a car solenoid, mounted upside down with two screws in it. But I also saw the negative battery cables going directly to the front of the starter as well. I'm not real comfortable with what I see down there and what's what.

 

No I'm not loaded, I don't have any chains though.

I've jumped a solenoid on a car before so I'm familar with that process. I'll see if I can make some sense of what I see down there when it gets light out.

Thanks for the tips. I'm just not sure of what I can do to a car that I can apply to a big truck. Will pulling it off work even if the batteries are charged? I had thought that was just for a dead battery.
