Good afternoon gents, so I’m having a problem getting my foxbody to start. It would turn on but I would have to jump it every time, then all a sudden it wouldn’t even start, I would hear a rapid clicking noise so I replaced the starter, when I disconnected the battery the positive terminal touched a metal piece and it popped and when I tried to start the car I wouldn’t even crank. Just a battery symbol would pop up on the dash when I would turn the ignition on and like a click sound. I replaced the starter ( the little gear wouldn’t pop out it would just spin), I also changed the starter relay and the battery
Is there a fuse or could it be the ignition switch?

*Side fender mounted starter relay*
 
The wires connected to the starter relay on the firewall are fusible links. One of them could've fried. You can check them with a test light.
