My 02 ford wont start. I read the answers posted and have changed the fuel filter and now I want to check the glow plug solenoid. There are what looks like two solenids by the fuel filter and both have several wires one terminals. Which one is which and how do you test to see if its bad?

Plenty of fuel. The bowl is full and when I loosen the cap with the key on, pressue/fuel is released immediatly.
The rear solenoid terminal is dead with the key on and the glow plug light illuminated. I have power on the left large terminal (one with rubber boot.) I noticed heat damage to the boot and corrosion on that terminal so I will replace it and see what happens.

wow, all those answers are really bogus. Cold weather. as in 20 out? Yeah, they call them engine block warmers. The first answer was on target. The lines all freeze up eventually. Just seizes everything... Now idk if it turns over or not. But you have alot of different answers. Might be your battery... might be corrosion. Who knows, ask a question with what it does when you turn the key.... If it turns over, then you have frozen lines, need an engine block warmer, and it shall keep the lines from "freezing" only enough near the block to flow a little bit, dude i live in arizona. But i have lived out in freezing conditions, hope anything helps. Go ask autozone..

it is the rear relay. a simple way to check is to hook up a test light to the large terminal towards the middle of the engine and run the other lead of the light to batt ground. turn the key on and your light should turn on if it does than your relay is likely not the cause.

You are running the diesel on the ether not diesel fuel, your injectors are not operating for one reason or another, most common would be a bad crank sensor, low oil can do this too ( the injectors use high pressure oil to pressurize the injectors if the oil is too low it can't supply the high pressure oil pump on top of the engine and no high pressure oil means no injector operation), a high pressure oil leak or a bad high pressure oil pump. Start with the crank sensor and go from there.

How cold are you talking about. Do you have winter fuel in the tank?
Summer deisel turns to jelly in cold wheather, and won't move in the fuel line.
