I went out to start my truck and all I heard was a popping sound I checked my battery it was low so I charged it and it still did it so I tried buying a new solenoid it still popped my dad tried to touch start my solenoid with a screwdriver it worked but I let it run for about 10 minutes it wouldnt start back up so I checked the mega-fuses they were corroded I tapped them while my friend tried to start my truck it started so I went and bought new ones and now it still pops im wondering if it is my starter motor?

Sounds like the starter motor is still good if your dad short out the starter relay and it crank over-most likely its coming from the ignition switch
