92 7.3 NA- had normal starting all spring- this truck needs glow plugs when cold but once warm always starts immediately Replaced solenoid on fender years ago and gp relay in past.
Month ago had weak start and replaced an 8 year old battery, issue resolved.
Week later had intermittent no crank when key turned to start. Dash lights but no crank, let it sit, try a few times it would start normal. GPs, strong batteries, easy start.
Decided to change solenoid relay on fender, bought good part 'Blue Streak' i think, as this was easy and not spendy. Unhooked batteries, followed hook up protocol.
Then truck had no crank, no dash lights/gps nothing. Unhooked batteries again, installed old relay and same result. Nothing, That's where i sit. Truck has no job right now so not in a hurry but puzzled.
When you turn key to start, the odometer flickers on then goes out. If you turn key slowly to 3/4 start the odometer comes on and correct mileage (no other dash lights) shows but turn further and all goes away. Checked fuses seem good. Plan to check solenoid attachment to fender, maybe no ground there? Need help....
