I have been having a starting problem, solenoid clicks when turning the key, I replaced the contacts and happened again, tested the voltage on the bk/w wire on the solenoid and when the truck won't start I get about 5 volys, when it does I get battery voltage. I'm thinking the relay is bad so I bought one, now I can't locate it. I have read it is in the left kick panel but the only relay there is a three prong and the new one is a four prong.

Remove the starter from the vehicle, Remove the 3 small bolts that retain the cap on the solenoid side. Remove the solenoid cap, then the plunger. Examine the plunger for burnt marks, inspect the contacts that the plunger contacts onto...If you see anything that is burnt or worn down, replace all 3 parts. Easy fix. I do it 8-9 times a month. Cheaper than buying a new starter.

sounds to me that you have an igniton problem not a starter problem and or if you have or had an alarm system could be cause if u do give me feedback and i will explain but seems that your starter is fine from what u say but if you think in terms of the elemts to start a vehicle batery gives pwoer to ignition which sends to starter which gives spark etc i would check you ignition system something is causeing a short and not alowing starter to function

Probably the starter solenoid. I'm assuming it's a standard transmission. Does pushing the clutch down hard make any difference? There is a safety switch on your clutch pedal. If it's automatic, it would definately be the solenoid. And no, pumping the gas has no effect on the starter. It will help to flood the engine though. ( and that's a bad thing)

I have the same problem. Where is the relay?
do you have a power distribution panel under the hood? if so look in there
