When you turn the key to start do you here the relay bang? It should be pretty loud. If you do then check the wire going to the starter.Y/LB to see if thats getting hot. Let me know!!

1999 F250 with V10. Was at a race on Sunday - after a stop for dinner came out and truck would not start. 12V on solenoid input nothing on output when key turned. Jumped solenoid and it started right up. Put on a new starter solenoid today and same issue. Now i'm getting some other electrical 'bugs' no power windows or dome lights (but fuses are not blown?) Getting a weird sound from near/behind the fuse box under dash when key is in run position and it has that slight 'electrical' buring smell. No chime when lights on or door open - sounds like it's weak? Truck will not start in park or neutral and the reverse lights work. Suggestions?
