Default 12v cummins wont crank

Hey I'm kinda new here so bear with me. I have a 1998 Dodge 2500 with a 12v cummins. I recently started having problems with it, I came home from.work one day let it.sit for about an hour then came back down to leave out again and the truck did nothing. So I checked all my relays and solenoids and now I have just replaced the starter and still nothing. Any ideas? ?? Cause I am stumped now.

Welcome. X2 on the battery cables. Do have any power on the dash, dome lights. head lights or is it just no starter? I have had mine for a few months now and it was sitting for a couple of years before that. I have all kinds of electrical problems. I started by cleaning ALL of my electrical connections. A real pain in the **** but it solved many problems. Second, I bought a service manual that has a good wiring schematic. This is a must for electrical trouble shooting. My truck is mechanical, but there are still many electrical componants to drive you nuts! Fill out your signature so we know what you have. Good luck!
