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?
