My 2001 ford explorer wont turn over or start just clicks it has new battery any suggestions help?

Here are some suggestions to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the battery connections:

- Make sure the battery terminals are clean and free from corrosion.

- Tighten the battery terminals to ensure they are making good contact.

2. Check the starter:

- The starter is responsible for turning the engine over. If the starter is faulty, it may not be able to engage the flywheel and start the engine.

- You can try tapping the starter with a hammer to see if it will engage.

- If tapping the starter does not work, you may need to replace it.

3. Check the ignition switch:

- The ignition switch is responsible for sending power to the starter.

- If the ignition switch is faulty, it may not be able to send power to the starter and start the engine.

- You can try turning the key in the ignition switch several times to see if it will start the engine.

- If turning the key does not work, you may need to replace the ignition switch.

4. Check the fuel system:

- If there is no fuel getting to the engine, it will not be able to start.

- Check the fuel lines and fuel filter to make sure they are not clogged.

- You can also try spraying some starting fluid into the air intake to see if the engine will start.

- If spraying starting fluid does not work, you may need to have the fuel system checked by a qualified mechanic.
