    On battery hookup truck cranks no key in?

    Well I put new under hood harness in it and don’t have anything no lights gauges nothing. There was one cut fusible link on new/ old harness that I bypassed properly as has been shared many times. Battery is good the bulkhead plug is in there right. If I put a screwdriver across the starter...

    On battery hookup truck cranks no key in?

    I mean really the only power to anything is that single line from the battery as it is now. There are no damaged wires to/ from the starter? Not sure what good an ohm meter would do me at this point. It’s easy to arm chair quarterback something like this to someone you feel is incompetent. I...

    I’ve followed your direction but as I stated my fusible links were wire nutted together! The starter is new battery new relay new ignition switch is fine. Process of elimination not wasting my time running around with an ohm meter. This is not an unmolested og truck some kid messed up the...

    bump, so I’m going to do what everyone else has to do and delete my fusible links with a fuse block. My question is: does anyone have a shop manual for an 85 that shows what each wire by color is for? I’m referring to the wires that come out of the ducks foot that I don’t have.

    Well after further research my fusible links have been “bundled” and are a monstrosity. The ducks foot fitting with 5 wires is not there as it should and this is what I have

    On battery hookup truck cranks no key in?

    Well today I checked and with key turned to crank position, clutch in I have no power. Next thing is to get the info on that relay and make sure it’s the right one. If anyone knows a part number or another one that would work - even a generic starter relay I’d be all ears. The only “part” left...

    On battery hookup truck cranks no key in?

    Sorry for double post this forum isn’t optimal on my mobile device so apologize for the duplicate pics and posts. I will get the specs on that relay tomorrow am I had the same thought it seems like the Ignition post should be stand alone and this one is tied into the EGR I should’ve kept the...

    Thought I had posted but I did check KO ignition wire no power. I didn’t check it when turned to crank position I’ll just have to stab my 12v probe in there and watch it from the cab.

    Checked this am and no power to the ignition wire with key on. Didn’t check when I crank position but I’d say no or it would crank;)

    With key on (not to start I’m by myself) no power to ignition or any other post except the batt post which is being fed directly from the battery.

    I did remove the neutral safety switch wire and hooked a wire to its post on the relay and grounded it and no change. I’ll check voltage to the ignition wire in the am. Btw it’s a manual so no need to step on the brake.

    On battery hookup truck cranks no key in?

    The ignition wire is lower left I got home late and haven’t had time to check to see if that wire has 12 volts to it. When I hook the bro wire with white stripe to the Batt terminal (either one) I get nothing no “auto start” but nothing on the key either. I can’t for the life of me understand...
