Electrical problem
1989 Ford Taurus 93500 miles

I have an 89 Taurus that won't start. I have replaced the battery and the alternator. I have checked the solenoid and that's good. I have also looked into the voltage regulator and the car still has no accessory lights. When you bypass the solenoid the car starts but wont stay running. What can I do?
