94 f250 shut off solenoid wires, both hot, blown fuses
I have a 94 f250 7.3 turbo that shut down on me just like I shut the key off. I checked the wire going to the shut off solenoid with my tester and no power. Checked the 20 amp fuse on the fender and it had blown. Installed a new one and had power. Put the wires back on and the rear wire twards the air cleaner activated the shut off, or made the click you listen for. Went to put the front wire on it, and it acted like a short. With in a few seconds I heard the fuse blow again. I check both wires after put another new fuse in and both are hot. I also own a 92 7.3 idi non turbo and checked the wires on it to see if both are hot, but only the front one is and the rear is not. I never had issues with the shut off solenoid going bad but I'm thinking something is up and both wires shouldn't be hot. Is this the case? If so I'm pretty confident my solenoid is bad and I need to run down a short in the line before I put a new one in. Thanks for any thoughts.
