Electrical Problem?
Hello,
I have a 94 F150 302 that won't turn over. The problem started by slowly turning over for 2 days then the nothing. I pulled the starter and had it tested (it failed) and I replaced it. The battery was also dead (parasidic draw?) so I replaced it, the solenoid switch on the fender wall, and the alternator as well. It started and all was fine. While the truck was running I pulled the negative battery cable and the truck shut off. Thinking that the alternator was bad I pulled it and had it tested it passed so I put it back in. I crossed the solenoid switch and it started and discharged the battery so I replaced the battery again. I also replaced the pos and negative battery cables as well as the fusible link to the alternator and the 14awg wire from the solenoid switch to the stater solenoid. I have checked the continuity of all fuses and triple check all the cables as well. There is no power in the cab. Could the igntion switch be causing a problem? Any suggestions would help
Thank you,
Jonathan

Pulling the neg cable while running disabled the computer, coil etc so she died. Maybe check the relay or fuse to regain power.
