Icm/Startor ish

Whatt up guys its been a minute since I been on!
I fixxed my Negtive cable on my truck it was split pertty bad. So I figured Id replace the Postive, because it seemed to make sense. The truck ran alot better. Well That was 3 days ago, and it seemed like the started was starting to drag. Well now it wont start I tryed to see if it would turn over with out useing the key, with a screw driver on the icm...nothing

I was wondering what you guys think about that bigger gauge battery wire killing my icm (its a cheap durlast one I belive) OR a starter problem (its a junk yard one) everything else for the ingition is brand new...Thanks alot for any help ahead

I doubt that the heavier gauge wire is hurting the ICM.

FYI if you replace the ICM get one of the same color as original. There are black and gray ones. From what I understand they are different. Also, it appears that the A'zone ones are not nearly as good as the Ford ones.

From rereading your post I think your referring to the starter solenoid and not the ICM. If thats the case the Azone one is fine.
