Lariat won't start

It was pretty common for the starter relay (what you are calling the solenoid) to be bad on the early F150 of that generation. Get a test lamp and ground it, and put the test end on the small wire going to the relay, turn the switch to start and see if that wire gets 12 volts while the key is in start. If it does then the relay needs to be replaced. If you get no voltage or low voltage when you key up then test the rest of the starting circuit. Im willing to bet it is the start relay unless you have a security system screwing up the works or remote start system, or if you have a windshield leak causing the fusebox to fill with water.
