Key on no cranking
Hi guys,
i know there are lots of posts already about this kind of problem but i'd like to get some more ideas before taking down the starter.
With the key on i don't get any cranking. starter doesn't move.
I had a new starter reali kicking around so i put it on. checked with my voltmeter and it gets power from the batteries.
turning the keys i can hear it clicking but when i go to make the final turn the starter doesn't move.
it all started a couple of days ago when the cable from the ignition switch kept falling off..
I thought it was going to be the same problem this time but when i opened the hood it was still on.
Later i tried to start the angine a couple of time and heard a weird noise coming from the starter relay. i was confidenti that the relay was the problem.
Changed it, double checked all the wires but nothing..
tried to tap the starter with a deadblow hammer and later a steel hammer. no success.
any ideas guys?

checked all the wires when i replaced the fender realy. everything looked ok. also cleaned the aire terminala just in case.
when i jumped the relay nothing happened. that's why i started to think my starter went.

sounds like it. i would get down under the truck and check for power at the starter itself when someone turns the key to start position. if you have power there, i would pull hte starter.

^^^^^ Jumping the relay bypasses the neutral/clutch safety lockout switch. If it doesn't crank when jumping the relay, the lockout (whichever applies) isn't in the picture.
