Not trying to butt in here, but the comments about the quality of parts quality is amusing. The other day I went to get a coil from autozone, and they had 2 store brand versions, regular and "gold." The regular was made in China, but their "gold" version was made in Mexico. Sounds like Mexican made is supposed to be a step up from Chinese made.

Releasing the key from START disconnects power from that red/blue wire, but relays sometimes stick inside.
Look here for more (from the sticky at the top of this forum):

So it seems there are 2 different Motorcraft solenoids. One says it's for trucks with electric factory fuel pumps. The other is without the electric pumps. Interestingly the one withOUT the electric pumps seems to sell more on rockauto.com. That surprises me. I would assume mine requires one with the pump and most of our truck do have the electric pump?

So I just got done replacing my cap, rotor, and new plug wires. I went to put the key and start it up. Well, something must have broke/stuck because the starter won't stop turning the engine over. I backed the key out and took it out and the starter is still turning over. The key cylinder still "feels" ok. Nothing feels broken or stuck and it's resistance when turning it has not changed, however I'm stuck with a constantly on starter.
I just pulled the key cylinder out and nothing appears to be broken or stuck with it. I pulled the actuator rod back so it was no longer in the "run" position. I hooked the negative portion of the battery back up and the starter came right on trying to start it. Something is stuck somewhere.... Any ideas?

so I lent my truck to my dad, told me truck was making a funny noise for a bit. Long story short he was driving with the starter going constantly. Tried to start the truck, got clicks for solenoid but nothing else. Tried bypassing solenoid got nothing. Went and got a new start think he burnt the old one out but still same problems. Any ideas anyone?

but I tried bypassing the solenoid by jumping the poles wouldn’t that rule it out?
