Sorry, I musta missed that one.
I've got a '97 5.4L wiring diagram but I'm not smart enough to figure out how to save it and send it to you.

Thanks. I thought so too. I found it to be pretty helpful. I hope he gets his truck fixed soon. Seems like he has been working on it for quite some time.

Try this. remove the starter. Lay it on the ground. Connect a set of jumper cables to your battery (I'm assuming the battery's good). Connect the negative battery jumper cable to the body/flange of the starter. Carefully touch the lug of the solenoid. What happens?

Re:

Thanks SBCLEMENS....i will try at home and keep you posted....

kaboom link still doesnt work.........looks like dns has not released the address and renewed....

do this...click start, run then type CMD then hit enter. Then type in blackscreen: ipconfig /flushdns

Then try visiting the page again if it works then you are probably sending the link you are logged in with and we dont have logins for the site.......

Thanks all...i'll try sbclemens suggestion in the meantime i open to any other things i may try ...let me know guys!
