Where is negative ground connection to engine

Have a 03 f150. Trouble starting. Battery good, solenoid . Dash lights come on when turned key but go to start and everything goes off but battery light and no sounds of trying to start

Cya, I moved your question to the Electrical Section. You should get better responses here than in the "Hello" forum.

I assume you have cleaned the battery connections. If one has been replaced and the cables are clamped, clean up that connection too. I just had the same problem and it was the clamp on the negative connector. I sprayed the cables with contact cleaner and re-clamped.

Did you check the solenoid or starter motor relay and how did you check it ?
