I’m stumped. Need someone that knows electrical.
1987 Dodge W-150 - 360 Gasser
I’ve recently rebuilt my motor top to bottom. After getting the entire motor together and in the vehicle we tried to start it and nothing. Just a click, no starter.
First thought - Starters gone. So we jumped the solenoid on the starter, and it fired - Starter works.
Second thought - Starter Relay box (6 pin i believe, picture attatched below). My truck still had the box from ‘87 so we bought a new one and replaced it. Nothing. - Starter relay is new
After this we began consulting google. After checking the grounds, ensuring each wire wasn’t broken and still worked (ign switch, positive battery, relay to starter, and relay to neutral safety switch), and after attempting to start the engine in Park, Neutral, and while moving the shifter, we still can’t get anything.
Nothing we’ve tried has produced more than a click. All connections have been cleaned thoroughly, we verified once again that the starter does work when jumped, and the battery is fully charged and had been charging all day.
I’m lost at this point, no idea what is causing the issues. If anyone could shine some light on this it would be much appreciated. I attatched photos of the starter relay, my starter solenoid, and the park neutral switch.
