No power in cab

I have no power to my cab I have power to the big connection on the gpr but none to either of the little ones when I jump power to the little connection I get power and everything works but I can't seem to find out why I'm not getting power to the little connection can anyone shine some light on this the gbr is brand new and works just fine all my fuses are good as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is on a swap too so It didn't break I just don't have power as soon as I can get this working ill be installing my IDM and it will be a runner I'm getting pretty excited.

Be careful jumping power to the small posts on the GPR. One of those is a ground that comes from the PCM. You put power on it, and you could burn up the PCM.

The wire that went to the starter solenoid on the fender was pulled out of the connector just enough that it wasn't giving power but not enough to be able to see it. If that make sense. Now I just have an abs light that won't go out, a very dim batter light that won't I out. And a radio that won't turn off or function and I still can't start it in the cab. Any ideas? How many wires are on the starter solenoid on the fender on each connection I think I have a ground that's getting power. Thanks again.

Is this the gas truck you put the PSD in? If so, did you change all the wiring behind the dash to the PSD wiring?

Yep everything has been swapped that's why I think I have a ground that's getting power and I think it's at the starter solenoid on the fender because there's a ton of wires that do it it and it doesn't look right.
