On the starter solonoid there might be three connections. There are two big terminals, and one smaller terminal, for the ignition wire from the harness.
Is the smaller wire from the harness connected to the starter solonoid ?

It would have been nice if it were the simple thing.
You know the actuator rod and starter switch are good. It's connected at the starter solonoid.
Could be i'm missing something, but if it were me i would start looking for a problem somewhere in the wiring harness or the ignition system. It might be hard to find.
Different year trucks are wired a little differently. You'll need to get the right wiring diagram for your truck. If you can borrow a copy of the Haynes repair manual it has most of the diagrams you would need in the back.
Once you know how it's laid out you can follow the ignition circuitry with an electrical tester and try to pin down where the problem is.

Having the same issues
I havea a 93 Ford F150, 5.0. I have replaced the Solenoid, the starter, battery connectors and the Battery Tested Good. All the truck does is click when you turn the key. It sounds like the battery is dead, but it's not. I have tried jumping the post on the solenoid but still nothing but clickin. Can someone help? Thanks for looking.
