Check your relay ( if you have one ) next, look for wires shorting out by the exhaust ( if any mods done down there).

Appreciate the input, so far this is what I have tried - replaced with brand new starter, fuse #113 has 12 volts when key in run position, replaced lower ignition switch under column, can not find a relay anywhere on firewall or fender. One note, radio only works in auxillary position. No fuses are blown. Thank you again if anyone has an idea - still trying it all.........
