I have a 1984 F150 and i recently found out that the solonoid is out. i have full power to the radio, ignition, lights, and trailer brake. when i turn the key i hear a grinding sound and the engine does not turn. When i release it it stops. Im only 16 and my family has had this truck for about three or four years. I hope to inherit this truck when its fixed but i have to fix it first b4 i can. What do i have to do to replace this part and where do i get one?
