I replaced the solenoid and the starter. I also checked the starter relay under the hood. It is still good. Where could the problem be? If the key turns on the trucks electronics and to the relays and it wont start is that a wire issue? I have a toggle switch (redneck) on the solenid now to start it. Please help Im lost.

Check the power at the ignition switch is actually coming into the switch and with the key turned to crank is leaving the switch, also is it an auto or manual, as an auto has a neutral start switch that may be faulty as well.
