My truck won’t start I have tried about everything. My relay wheels and I have used wire instead of the relay. My starter gets 12 volts til I crank then it gets 7.5 volts.

Battery condition?

All terminal connectors and battery posts clean (with connectors tight)?

Have you checked all the ground locations, including the battery negative cable?

I have I have even tried jumping off the starter with another wire. And my terminals are brand new and cleaned. My battery tested fine at oreilys. I’m almost at selling this thing.

If it drops to 7.5v, either battery or starter.

Battery needs tested with a toaster style tester Sometimes, the parts store testers give false positives.
