Okay, with the key in the start position, check the start fuse under the hood in the fuse block for power in the start position.

Roy,

Will that be the large relay 3114 listed as STRTR? If so, I pulled it out and it has power on 87 even when the key is off.

Okay, I asked if you had power at that crank fuse with the key in the start position and the relay installed.

Roy,
Sorry for misunderstanding. Yes I do. But after further inspection of the wire that connects to the solenoid I have found two locations where the wire is exposed (insulation missing). Could that be enough to break the connection?

Mike1002,

Im new to this site. I don't know if a donation is required to get feedback from these folks.
The info I can tell you about the code readers is simple. If you can't find it it may be a generic aftermarket code. Try to use an OBDII that gives you a descripion of the code.

Are you the one involved in the accident or did you buy it as a salvage? Either way, battery, fuse box, wiring, and electrical systems need to be at least looked at or electrically checked. Anything that new should work unless its visibly damaged.

Okay, if you have power there at the fuse, the next stop is the solenoid. Test for power to the purple wire while in start position.

Yes, it could if it is broken internally.

Okay, remove the relay and you should have power at terminal 30 and in the start position, also check pin 85 for power as well.

No, you should have power to 30, 87 goes directly to the solenoid.

Do you have power in the start position to 85?

What is litre size of engine? Have you checked for voltage, anywhere? Usually the purple wire at the starter solenoid goes hot with the key in the crank position. Any testing at the starter, make sure the tranny is in park or neutral and the parking brake is set.

If its not a security issue could be one of the following a blown fusible link, the starter, starter relay, park and neutral switch and ignition switch assuming the battery condition and connections are good.
