97 Discovery V8 4.0L Manual won't start.

[vision3]

Today I woke to cloudy and foggy day, the same conditions as the last time when it didn't want to start, which was like a week ago, and it gave me the same loud click again from the starter but the engine would not turn over. I installed a new battery and nothing but the dam click. I know it has to be related to the weather but what can it be???? If it is the started then why only on rainy, humid, foggy days?? Has anyone gone through this? Could this be cause by a relay?

Also at one point it seem like the battery was dying because the dash lights dims and a rapid clicking noise coming from some relay(I think) but after being off for a while it would go back to normal and all power restore but no start.

Any advice is welcome. I just dont know what else to do.

i'm not sure if it has a external or internal silinoid on your starter but check cause that could be going out and damp conditions might interfear with the conections also check your coil packs this to happened to me one was burnt out and it was throughing spark found out the hard way up in the mountain. same lost all power nothing just click pull out plug wire from your pack one at a time then with a light look inside to see if it is blackened if so replace. and cheapest way is call junk yard that way you can buy one at a time dealer sells only whole rail for $1000.00 or more U.S.

I have an external solenoid. But ill check the coil pack, if I can find it.

If you have a new battery, and you are just getting clicking, check all the battery wiring first, check for corrosion from the small wire to the fuse block. Also check the wiring at the starter and solenoid. Sounds like corrosion to me.
