    Fired my truck up and took it over and hooked it to a trailer. Shut her down for 45 minutes and when I went to start it I get nothing. All I get is the primer pump running and the customary lights but no cranking and no relay clicks. I replaced the starter 4 months or so ago,the ignition switch, and today did the relay on the firewall. No good.
    If i turn the key on and bridge the big posts on the relay on the firewall she'll crank and start. When everything worked before, if I bridged the starter relay she would not crank but make a couple of clicks from somewhere.
    If I take 12 volt power and hit the small pole of the relay on the firewall she'll crank. I'm not getting power to that relay. Why?

    Is there ANOTHER circuit breaker / relay I'm missing?

    I think there is also a relay in the fuse panel in the dash.

    Mine is an autoshift.

    I switched all the relay's around I could hoping to find a bad one but no luck and no start.

    the wiring diagrams would help if I could expand them bigger to readable size.
