no start, no turn over, nothing
Hey peoples, my 1999 f150 5.0 doesn't start. I was experiencing a delay before it started for a couple days then one day it didn't start, doesn't turn over, nothing. I hear the fuel lines and I also get power for everything
I thought it was the starter solenoid buhh replaced that to no avail.
Please help if you can...

Turn the headlights on, turn the key to the crank position , if the lights go out , check the battery for 12 volts, and all of the battery cables, for swelling and corrosion.
If 5 he lights stay bright , have the starter checked.

I'd look at ignition switch. Do you get 12v at the solenoid every time you turn the key? If not, check ignition switch under dash.

Probably a typo, yes. FWIW 302 was in the Explorer through 2001. 300 died an untimely death in 1996. 
As far as the actual question, I'd definitely look at cable connections. If the battery terminals are corroded, replace the terminal with a solder-on connector, not the cheesy clamp on type.

Is it an automatic? Have you tried putting it in Neutral and trying to start? Could be the neutral safety switch. If you turn the key to run and shift into reverse do the reverse lights come on?

^this is your first step and points to or rules out a few things.takes 5 seconds at most with a test light and an assistant.
tip;
often solenoids will stick in cold weather.all it takes a little tap,tap,tap (fender and or starter mounted) to unstick them.

It still won't eliminate a bad battery, cables or connections.
