I have a strange one. So I have a 1995 Chevrolet S10 with an electrical issue, one morning I went to start it, note It was working perfectly fine the day before. I put the key in and put it in the on position, I hear a loud click and then everything goes silent. I open the door and I hear "clickclickclickclick" coming from under the dash / fusebox area. I put the key in and the door beep sounds, but it is on/off repetitive with the same pattern as the clicking. When I close the door the clicking goes away. I put it into accessory and the PRND lights illuminate, but they are flashing with the clicking and the door beeping sound synchronized. I then put the key in the on position and everything turns off, clicking and all, when I push the key forward more to start, no noise what so ever, no lights come up on the dash, the battery is good. Power locks, windows do not work, no accessories, just that clicking noise and the PRND lights when in accessory (the position one away from the on position) I tried jumping it, nothing. I need to get this truck out of my yard, any suggestions?

Sounds like a weak/dead battery to me, but you say the battery is good.
I would start by checking all the connections at the battery and where the cables go, for example the positive cable goes to the starter, and the ground goes to the block and to the chassis somewhere, make sure all those connections are also clean and tight.

It's common for corrosion to build up under the battery terminals, looks fine until you remove them from the battery and boom, green crusty city. It's easy enough to check at least.
