Your power runs from the ignition to the solenoid. if there's no power at the ignition, you need to check for power to the ignition, and if there's power you need an ignition switch. If you don't then you might need PCM

Moisture problem... try blasting the ground on the frame with some wd40 maybe the wire and distributor but most importantly the cylinode switch on the side of the starter... wd40 stands for water displacement 40 th attempt.
Check your battery terminals sounds like one is loose or dirty... they need to be cleaned and tight. Make sure your in park , most cars will not rotate at all when in gear. Check your fuses panel for a blown fuse and lastly check to see if the wire on the starter is tight. If it's an older Ford's there is a cylinode switch beside the battery that should click everyte you try and start the car... it is a big magnetic switch basically. If no click then you could grab a booster cable ( put the car in park). Place the car key in run position attach one booster cable on the right side of the cylinode and tap the other end of the same colour on the opposite side... the starter will start... there will be some sparks when you touch and when you release but that is ok...just hold the one end in your hand against the other side until you rig starts and then remove them. But don't rotate the starter longer then 15 seconds cause you don't want to burn it out.
The flywheel could be bad. The flywheel is so big that it will only grind the teeth every so often when it is in that spot. If you are sure that the starter is bad, replace it. If you do need to replace your starter this site looks like it has cheap prices, free shipping and great reviews http://www.buyautoparts.com/starter.htm
funny...you have just told me what is wrong with it!!! check power in, power out at the ignition switch...likely it has failed. switch is on the top of the steering column under the dash and is sometimes easier to reach if you disconnect the column from the dash and permit the sterering wheel to rest on the seat.
You have a bad starter solenoid. Check with your local auto parts store as well. Some of them test these for free. Good luck to you and thanks for using Fixya!
