Check and clean battery connections and also have battery load tested. A battery that is fully charged may still be weak and not provide adequate cranking power.

HomerJay is not wrong. How are you determining the battery is fully charged? But a clicking starter is usually indicative of a battery or wiring problem, and replacing the starter won't solve it.

What made you replace the starter, and what tests did you do to verify that logic?
