Starter could be stuck..
If you are SURE you battery is fully charged with no dead cells..
Try --

Turn the key like you are trying to start it.
At the SAME time - smack the starter with a small hammer not too too hard..
Let me know what happens..

My 2004 ford ranger turns on when I turn the key but wont send power to the starter

I also have a 2004 Ranger and put in a new starter because all I got was a clicking sound. I did a lot of research after that and it seems the BATTERY doesn't have the cranking amps to turn over the motor. I have it in the shop right now and will know for sure tomorrow but all indications point in this direction.
