Hey everyone,
I recently went to install a pyrometer on my 92 7.3 idi f250
all went well, but i decided to call it a night once i got the gauge & gauge pod mounted, along with installing the thermocouple and running the gauge wires into the cab ( I did not touch any wiring whatsoever, the gauge is not wired yet)
When i went to start the truck, i threw it into the "run" notch, waited for the glowplugs to heat then i proceeded to start the engine.
Nothing. Nothing from the starter, engine didnt crank, the only sound i can hear when i turn the key to start is a clicking noise coming from the "power distribution box".
Both batteries are mint, puttin out 12v...starter is brand new....and if i jump the starter relay, or solenoid (ive heard it be called different things but its the unit behind the battery on the passenger side) the truck starts no problem.
We tested the wire that provides the current for the starter relay, and it is not getting any power when the key is turned over...
Is there anything it could be between the ignition switch & the starter relay? Ive checked every fuze i can find...theyre all good
thnx
Benny
