Abs light, engine won’t crank
So I have started with the basics, battery was low, old, got a new one. Replaced the NSS, replaced the relay (starter) and ignition. Checked ignition fuses. Hit the starter with a hammer a few times and it still won’t crank. It is making the clicking noise, all dash lights come on, abs and check engine come on and go off before I try. Then when I turn the key it just clicks and the ABS light comes back on.
Please help!?

Check your engine grounds. You may find that you have 12.5v getting to the starter but a bad engine ground won't let the current pass through. By check, remove and clean them. Even if it's not the issue, it's a worthwhile maintenance item to do.

Yep. A cable can pass a continuity test but be so corroded that it will not pass much current.
