93 Explorer Clicks once but wont start

[NoLimitIowa]

Alright so here is the deal... I have a 93 Explorer that just wont start....I insert the key and turn the ignition and all it does is click one time....All the accesories work and there is plenty of juice in the battery...I tried to jump it still nothing.....The fuel pump does turn on as i hear it for the first 3 seconds....I just had the whole fuel system replaced about a month ago...So im pretty sure its nothing there.....

My first thought was the fuel cut off switch but im not sure where that is located.

2nd i was thinking the starter but really it has not shown any signs in the past few days of any rough starts or problems.

I know a little about cars but im not really sure where to start. I need to have it fixed by Sunday night so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for your time.

it clicks once? sounds like the starter.

bang on it with a hammer while someone else turns the key. it's not a 100% accurate test, but a lot of times banging it will get the starter to turn over .... if it doesn't crank, hit it harder
