Truck WILL NOT turn over..
The other day I got in my truck, cycled the heater plate a few times and tried cranking. I smelled a burning smell, starter was smoking bad.
Took it off, had a warranty on it, got a new one, put it on, nothing. Figured it would be a relay, got one yesterday, Notta.
And today being pretty cold compared to the past few days I noticed my WTS light wasn't coming on. It's been plugged in but it would still at least show for a moment.
I'm not getting any codes when I do the key turn.
Appreciate the input.

I'm still pretty new to my cummins and its WAY too cold for me to go out and check, but on my John Deere and Mahindra tractors I can jump the studs on the starter and turn the motor over that way... can you do this on your truck? If so it maybe that can narrow things down a little.
I just got off the phone with a mechanic at Chrystler Dodge, said I'm gettin close and that the relay may be he problem. If not it the wires.
Going to work on it when I get home from the hospital

Gunna check the wires like crazy tomorrow since it's dark thirty out now -_-

I just jumped the starter with a screwdriver and it turns over nicely.
my CEL is on, go figure, WTS light is working now that I replaced the IMH relay so that WAS ONE of the issues.

So I picked up a code reader, used it just a bit ago, it pulled these codes.
P1693, A companion DTC was set in both the ECM and PCM
P0234, Turbo Overboost condition, x2. Not sure how this happened since she's mostly stock....
P1689, No communication between ECM and Injection pump module.
