Fuse box // starter solenoid not grounding.

[T_Murph]

The starter solenoid relay in my fuse box isn't sending a "grounded" signal to the starter. Thus my truck is a no crank no start.

When I run a wire from the starter solenoid to the battery negative the truck starts fine.

I sent my fuse box out assuming it needed repairs to an eBay vendor keyworks_va. Since getting it back I have the same grounding issue. And now my wipers won't work intermittently. they just run constant.

How about checking ground going to the fuse box? I would pull all the grounds off the battery post and clean them along with the battery clamp. Also the ones going to the body. Sounds like your going to need to send the box back to the vendor who messed it up. In the mean time pull the wiper fuse to troubleshoot the problem.

I like the battery/starter ground wire check up/cleaning first. Then...
How about checking:

1. Clutch pedal switch
2. Starter relay
3. Starter fuse

Then check the "fuse box" connections that were disconnected/connected for the wiper issue.

I like the idea of checking the clutch pedal switch.

forgot to update! the clutch switch was indeed bad.
