2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission won't run

[b.ferrara]

I've been running the truck for sometime now manually. I replaced the

shut down relay and the solenoid and still won't work. What do I do now?

The only product Larry has left is the starter contacts, what's another $30

is it worth the try? Thanks in advance.

Have you checked the blue wire on the positive post of the driver's side battery? It is a fusable link.

I did that, the wire has power to it. I put the test light to it about 6" from the battery and it worked. I remember that the plug (3 prong) had power to

receptacle all the time, one with only the key on, and one never. I'm going to call Larry tomorrow, maybe he can give me some advise. I bought a choke cable just in case.

Have you checked to see if you have power to the relay connector? That's where the blue wire circuit goes. Pull the relay. There are two large terminals in the socket and two small ones. One large one should be hot and the other should be connected to the three wire connector for the fuel solenoid if checked with an ohm meter. One of the small terminals should be hot when the key is in the start position. If there is not 12 volts on one of the large connectors then you have a problem somewhere between the battery end of the blue wire and the relay socket. If there is not 12 volts on one of the small terminals then you have some problem in the circuit to the ignition switch or with the ignition switch. If you have power to the relay socket for load (blue wire) and start, then there is some problem in the circuit to the three wire connector on the fuel solenoid. The blue wire goes to a splice where the color changes to black.
