I have a 1991 Ford For XT Lariat. 5.8L 351 V8 and last night while driving I stopped to get gas and turned the truck off, after getting gas I tried to turn it back on and had no luck, turning the key made no noise what so ever, I had called AAA and the driver came and told me it's most likely a solenoid issue and touched both terminals to start the truck manually. This morning I went to the auto store and bought a new solenoid and hooked it up the exact way as the old one and now I still have no luck. Can someone please try and help me here.

well if you get no power whatsoever its a loose connection with your battery or messed up ground cable but if it had power but made a clicking noise its the solenoid...are you sure its hooked up the same? its easy to hook something up wrong when your dealing with wiring

Mine was doing this and come to find out my battery terminals were dirty
