A bad starter solenoid could do that or maybe a bad ignition switch.

Yeah the old solenoid didn't work so put the new one on and turned the key and it turned over but couldn't turn it off by the key

The solenoid could be bad or maybe you wired it wrong? https://itstillruns.com/wire-ford- solenoid-5714287.html

Like FOR said, you could have gotten a defective solenoid. I work for Napa and we get a lot of the Ford starter solenoids back defective! Hope that helps! Jim

You said TRY to start. Does it start and just keeps cranking? Try switching the two small wires on the solenoid . One is from ign switch other is to coil for more voltage while cranking.
