Muncher Posted October 13, 2021 Posted October 13, 2021 So my truck won't run currently. All the lights inside have power but the radio and other things don't. When I go to crank it it dosent turn over at all. So I replaced the starter relay and still nothing. What should I do?
jdog Posted October 13, 2021 Posted October 13, 2021 Check the fuse links, check the ignition switch for melted wires
howeitsdone Posted October 13, 2021 Posted October 13, 2021 Highly Recommend downloading or buying a factory electrical manual. Best decision I’ve made so far. It has plenty of troubleshooting guides that truly help. Makes tracing issues and wires super easy.

jdog Posted October 13, 2021 Posted October 13, 2021 Fuse links are wires coming off of the starter relay, they are wires that act like fuses. The ignition switch is on the column about half way down on the right side.
Muncher Posted October 14, 2021 Author Posted October 14, 2021 ok so more towards the dash ? and ill check the ends of those wires coming off. do you just mean the ones that plug in to the starter rely or the bolt on ones.
jdog Posted October 14, 2021 Posted October 14, 2021 The ones that bolt on And yeah it should be half way down the column

Muncher Posted October 15, 2021 Author Posted October 15, 2021 Looks fine but dusty could it still be bad?
Muncher Posted October 15, 2021 Author Posted October 15, 2021 Think the connector could still be bad
howeitsdone Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 Are you getting 12v to the red wire going into the switch?

Did you adjust the ignition switch? Do you have power on the red wire
Muncher Posted October 17, 2021 Author Posted October 17, 2021 i have not tried adjusting it yet i tried to put it in but couldn't get it to work so I'm trying again tommrow.
jdog Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 While your there check for power on the red wire
Muncher Posted October 23, 2021 Author Posted October 23, 2021 Hadn't gotten to check the red wire yet but I got the new ignition switch and I can't get it in properly so I'm just going to have to bring it to a shop and have them figure it out sadly
