    I pulled the starter wires off my starter that are part of the chassis wiring harness from the ECM to the dash and when I reconnected them the truck doesn't start now. It turns over fine just doesn't hit a lick. any clues what could be the problem? It was just 2 wires that went to the double posted hot wire and a small wire that went to I believe a solenoid and then the 2 wires that goes to the solenoid on the firewall. Last time I had the starter replaced it did this and the mechanic did something that made it start but I didn't see what he did.
