1990 f150 wont start

My husband was running errands one day came home and parked went to leave a hour later and the truck wouldn't start. We have been searching for answers online. diagrams. logs. blogs... ect. so we have replaced the o2 sensors, starter, starter celanoid, battery.... still wont start. we did the test of a screw driver from the celanoid to battery, it starts. but when turning the key all we get is a weird sound like a robot powering down. we are boggled... please help.

    ok so we changed the ignition switch. same out come... but now the new thing is jiggling the steering wheel it wants to start..... so what wiring or what do i need to replace now ??????

    well we cant figure it out. all we get is the whining noise, not turning over. Could the tilt steering have anything to do with this issue?

Randomly won't start, happened after jumping dead battery

Probably the battery. Take it the chain auto parts place and they will test it for you.
