    OK so today I went to start my runner an nothing happened. Its something to do with the starter because its not even clicking or anything. Everything else turns on an gets power. Before the swap it ran fine. In the fuse box there's the starter solenoid or relay thing its not there an I'm thinking that's what my problem is but I don't remember every pulling tht out

    jump the starter with the key in the on pos. and see if that works for you ...( get a flat head and bridge the + and the relay post ) if that works then you have a relay out somewhere

    you can just put a starter button on if you want

    good luck bro

    Also maybe check to see if there is a wire grounding/shorting out somewhere. I had a similar issue on my suburban a few months ago and a wire had chaffed and was shorting on the firewall. once I fixed the wire the probelm went away.

    I also noticed the truck starts in the on possition which it didn't do before with or without the relay an only starts if I put a black wire with a white stripe in this see pic below.
