It all started last week when I didnt get any power to anything on the starting system, no clicks or high pitched noises at all. So I replaced the starter and the starter solenoid and shed start right up, for about a day. Then all I get is a click from the solenoid everytime I try to turn it over. So I replaced the solenoid again with a z rated only to have it start 3 or 4 times and then back to the clicking from the solenoid. Its like I keep blowing the solenoid jus by starting it. No idea where to begin =/

Use a test light to measure the voltage on both of the large copper studs on the solenoid while a helper turns the ignition switch to "crank".

There are three different circuits that Ford used. Do you have a single large cable at the starter or do you have that and a smaller wire at the starter?
