Im glad I found this site. I went to shut off my truck and noticed the radio was still playing, I jiggled the ignition switch with out the keys in and the radio stopped playing. The next day I went to start it, the motor turned over but wouldnt fire, replaced a fusible link from a yellow wire, that goes to the solinoid. It started but the same wire started to smoke. I visibly checked the wires in the engine compartment everything looked fine. Before I had it towed home, I went to start it wouldnt start turned off the key and the motor kept turning over. Please help.

Welcome to the site!

Sounds like a nasty little gremlin. Lol Check out our tech forums, just click on the Forums tab at the upper left and scroll over the list. This one should fix you up: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum28/ There is also a electrical wiring forum so be sure and look the list over.

Good luck!
