Electrical issue
So i cant get my 95 powerstroke to get power to the solenoid on the passenger side fender(it leads to the starter). It always has power into it but the small wire that tells it to open and send power to the starter never gets power. Does anyone know were this wire goes or where it runs to???

i already jumped it n the relay works and i traced the wire and pulled the column. So your saying it goes into the big white board that bolts to the steering column. If so i already tried another steering column and still nothing worked. Also does it go through the fuse box or no because i cant tell but everything in the fuse box works. What should i do now???

Next that wire goes to TRS (transmission range sensor) (P and N), if you have an auto. From there it goes to where the CPP switch would be and is just jumped.
If you have a standard transmission that wire goes to CPP (clutch pedal position) switch.
From there it goes through your ignition (Start) switch.
And finally through a 20 amp fuse, either #9 or #10 in the engine compartment.

Automatic or manual tranny? Automatics, that wire goes thru the neutral safety switch. Manuals, it goes thru the clutch switch on the pushrod.

Now, if the clutch pedal isn't pushing the pushrod properly, that's probably not the hydraulics themselves. That's more likely an issue with the cr@ptastic bushing between that "arm" on the clutch pedal mechanism and the pushrod, or perhaps that "arm" is stripped where it splines onto the cross-shaft, or perhaps the bushings on the cross-shaft are super-duper worn. On older trucks, it was even possible that the firewall would flex so much that the clutch master cylinder would move rather than the pushrod pushing into it. But _supposedly_, that can't happen to the trucks of our vintage. In any event, even if you get the engine started, you've gotta resolve this before you can drive the truck.
(Hey, are you also posting this under a different username on that, er, other site, that, uh, um, rhymes with "flower-smoke-station"? Your issues sound eerily familiar...)

Weird; there's a guy posting there with the same problem, worded almost the same. Oh well; never mind.
Okay, you said "plunger below" and I took that as the pushrod. So the pushrod is moving? Then disregard the above. 'Course, if you've just worked on the hydraulics, are you sure you've got the switch positioned correctly? Again, I'd start by jumpering the switch.
When i say the slave doesnt move its because it is not bleed yet. The switch read that it works correctly
