2001 F150 Starter not engaging.
My truck (01 f150 w/ 5.4) is not starting at all. Not cranking or anything.
Recently the main power cable to starter corroded away while at work…ended up shoving wire into broken end into the end of starter bolt where it broke off and was able to start it and get home….resulting in me having to change harnass.
Thats done now it won't click or anything. Battery is at 13.2v. I removed starter and had it tested at o'Reillys and is reading fine. I took off ground from frame and sanded living !#^& out of frame and added a copper washer for better contact and made sure the firewall ground is also fine.
I've had a test light down on starter while someone is trying to start it and getting good reading until they go to start it….when key is turned to start position the power drops to nothing.
I've also tried jumping battery even though it is good and had a battery from another vehicle try. Oh and I tried starting it from both neutral and park just incase the switch suddenly broke.
Any ideas?

Quick update… havent been able to make it to parts store to booster starter that way yet. I borrowed a “deads man switch" from friend at work and hooked to starter positive and ground and tried with no luck with key in on position ( light did light up on switch like it was getting power thoug) heres a pic of what i used…[image|1946514]
Should i still proceed with the hotwire or try changing starter even though it tested good last week when i had it out?
Edit...Realized I cant post pics for some reason... basically i used matco remote starter part md 101a to try and get it working at starter with no luck either
