No start situation.
I confirmed good solenoid and good starter. No 12v from ignition to solenoid.
On top of the steering column I can see the actuator rod move when I turn the key to start. I even put pliers on the rod and tried to move the rod further. It woudn't go any further than the key was already pushing it. So I think the rod assembly is ok.
I disconnected the plug at the neutral safety switch on my C6 tranny. The plug has 4 pins. I don't know what's what in there but I prodded around with my multimeter looking for continuity.
On the plug end that comes from the NSS I found 2 pins that have continuity (when in park). They were diagonal from each other. Not sure if I tried all combinations, though.
On the plug end from the column I couldn't find continuity, but I guess I would need to have someone turn the key while I'm prodding the pins?
Anyway, even if I did find continuity or not I wouldn't know what to do from there so I'm hoping you guys have a method of determining if my NSS is bad or if it's something else.
Been messing with the truck all day so I'm gonna take a break and go for a bike ride. See you later on.
