Sorry about the confusion, I think I was creating new issues while trying to remedy the original issue.
Ok, I figured out the not cranking with the key, apparently a 4 post relay needs a ground.
No, the steering wheel or column won’t move around.
But there is no voltage on both large posts when key is turned to on position. I’m going to change out the gpr and see if it will start.

Well it’s a balmy 21 degrees right now in northern Michigan, the warmest its been in months. the block heater is plugged in. I won’t have much opportunity to mess with it today, at my godson’s 1st b-day party with the wife and kids, then we are dropping the kids off at the grandparents and the wife and I are going out for her birthday. I’ll get back with you boys tomorrow and let you know if I get it going

Yep, wrong relay but it should work OK.
