No Start

I have a '92 F-150 w/302 cid engine, auto trans and all power options. I have a problem with the truck not starting. I've a good starter, solenoid and starter relay. They all test good but the truck still won't start. I'm thinking it might be a fuse or fusible link. Any ideas on what I should do to get my truck running? I'm thinking I might have to put new wiring in from the relay.

Does it turn over? IF not, try a new battery, maybe new negative and positive battery cables. Also, check the ignition switch in the steering column. You can also jump the solenoid with a screw driver and try to start the truck. Turn the key to on, and lay a thick screwdriver across the two big terminals on the solenoid. that should spin the starter and start the truck. Also, check the nuetral safty switch on the trans. If the switch went bad or got damaged, it will not let the starter spin either.

Just my $.02,

If it does crank, you need to determine if it's fuel or spark related. When you turn the key to the on position, you should hear the fuel pump run for a second or two. If you don't hear it, it could be the fuel pump or the fuel pump relay(common problem).
