F150 Won't start
I got in my 2000 F150 this morning, turned it over (perfect), and drove to a buddies house to pick him up to go to work. I got to my buddies place shut off the truck, but when I tried to restart it, it doesn't start. The solenoid engages, the battery is good, the fuel pump works, but no starter. Any suggestions?

STARTING - NO CRANK, NO START - CORROSION
OF THE STARTER CABLE B+ TERMINAL AT THE
STARTER SOLENOID
FORD:
1997-2000 F-150
ISSUE
Some vehicles may exhibit a no crank, no start condition. This may be caused by corrosion of the starter cable B+ terminal at the starter solenoid due to a reaction between dissimilar metals (steel nut used to attach the battery cable to a brass stud on the starter).
ACTION
Whenever the starter or harness is replaced, the new brass/tin plated nut (W706414-S413) replaces the old service steel nut. Follow the appropriate model year Workshop Manual for harness and starter replacement procedures.
NOTE IF CORROSION HAS DAMAGED THE STARTER CABLE END (CRACKED, ERODED METAL), THE APPROVED PROCEDURE IS TO REPLACE THE HARNESS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPLACE THE STARTER CABLE EYELET.
Also - theres a little ground wire down there that corrodes easily and has caused the above, No- Start problem's..
