    Help! is it my alternator again?

    I put in a used alternator about 3 months ago. My 94 ranger wont start. It has enough power for the cab light and the battery cables still spark when taken on and off the battery. It will click when I try to start it. It will not start even when trying to jump it. Is this the alternator?
