Well it sounds like the starter may need to be load tested again...I replaced mine the other day, the old one passed the first load test, but failed the same test the second time he did it. Put a new re-build in from Auto Zone, 80 bucks lifetime warranty.

I just went through the same problem, long story, but in the end it was the battery...Ford starters need a lot of juice from a good battery...maybe you could try it with a charger set to boost. The relay is near the battery, just trace the pos. cable to find it, then again if you changed the solenoid you already got it, they call it different names sometimes. You could check the ignition switch, and the P/N safety switch and the cables themselves
