When I first received the bronco it started no problems, twice. It sat for a week I went to start it to keep the battery charged; I heard something click once internal lights, external lights, instrument lights, all died and would not turn on again. I tried to to start again this time no clicking noise, no lights. I started troubleshooting 15 min in to it and magic, lights returned! So I turn the key to standby position brake light energized, turn to start, everything dead check wires-good, battery-good, starter-good, starter relay-good(It cranked only once out of countless tries). I disconnected the starter from the starter relay and turn the key, relay clicks on; when key is released to "run" relay clicks off-as it should-lights stay on and everything. Connect starter and it returns to one click lights out. So I bought a new starter installed it turned the key, click and lights out. Voltage test on the "S" terminal of the starter relay turn the key to start: 12.5V. Twelve was on the alternator, distributor, and starter coil. So figured it was the starter relay, bought a new one...NOPE! Same deal! Ideas?
