I have a 1999 GMC Jimmy 4.3 Vortec. When you turn the key it doesn't roll over, all I can hear is a click in the passenger kick panel. I have checked the starter solenoid with a jumper and it is fine. After a ton of checking with a multimeter and swapping fuses and relays I found something- when I remove the 40A "ign A" fuse in the fuse panel under the hood and plug it back in, I turn the key and it fires right up and stays running. However if I shut it off and try to start a second time, it doesn't roll over and begins clicking in kick panel again. Any ideas?

Terminal 30 at the relay should be hot all the time. I can't tell, if something wrong with fuse--fuse wiring circuit or relay. Check all three.
