Just bought a new solenoid relay switch for my 1992 Ford F 150 and replaced battery. When I thought I was done went to start truck and everything went dead. Did I just "FRY" my new solenoid relay?

check fuses and fusible links and ALL your work before hooking batt. back up , a multi tester would be useful , I don't know why you would replace the solenoid only

Because it is not the one attached to the starter but in the engine compartment and it was bad. Now you know.
