Might be the wrong section, but here we go.
When I turn the key I get a few clicks as the startermotor want to turn but its powerless.
If I hotwire from positive on battery to the post on the starterrelay the engine roars ro life easily.
I have changed to a new battery, starterengine, starter relay and ran an extra ground from battery to the relay.
I haven’t measured the current to the relay on the wire that comes from the key. That said I have tried to ”hotwire” the relay by cable from the battery and get the same ”clicking” noise from the starter (and relay), but no turn.
As I pulled apart the plastic under the steeringcolumn a wire fell out. Had to run so didn’t check it more today. What does it do?
Any ideas how I get the truck sorted?
