Angry fuel solenoid power problems, again

I had this problem on the 911 page a while back, thought it was somehow magically resolved, but alas it has shown its ugly head again and worse now. The solenoid will pull up, both relays on the firewall are ok, even replaced the big one. While cranking the solenoid opens, as soon as the key is released the solenoid drops and the truck stops. The fuel system fuse in the fuse box behind the drivers battery is good and there is power to it. First question: What does the "fuel system relay" in this fuse box do? There is no power to the 30 terminal on that relay connection and there should always be power there. I am beginning to suspect the "blue" wire fusable link. How do I check that, jumper around it? Is it replaceable? I could check continuity. Is it possible the ignition switch is the problem? I am currently blocking the solenoid up with a small block of wood but it is a pain stopping the engine like that. This is extremely frustrating. I am at the point of a choke cable type setup to bypass all the possible electrical problems in this scenerio. Couldn't it be more simple? Like my tractor? Any ideas? I am near the end of the rope here, please help with any suggestions, thanks, Steve
