97 3500 no crank
Yesterday I went out to my truck and went to start it and the starter isn't doing anything. I checked and I am not getting any power on the signal wire at the starter when I turn the key. I can jump the signal wire and it cranks so I know the starter isn't bad. Next I checked the relay and used a good one I had sitting around but I had no luck. I am also not getting any power to the pull wire on the fuel solenoid. At the power distribution box on the relay i get 2 prongs that are keyed power and one that is starter power. The one that is starter power is suppossed to be a ground from what I can tell on wiring diagrams. So this is probably my problem but I can't figure why it is doing this. I am lost, it was working just fine yesterday. I would appreciate any ideas.

Well I looked everywhere for the problem and could not find it. In order to save time and headaches I just installed a push button for the starter/ fuel solenoid and put it in a semi-hidden area. This gives the truck a little added security. It is just a simple fix but if it works then I have no problem with it.
