2.5L ('98-'01) Ranger 5spd NoCrank-Remote Starts Only

***Update again, I just went on a limb and got a new fuel pump to be safe, installed, and still can only crank engine by remote control. The relay Clicks when I turn the ignition on, but I'm not getting 12v at the fuel pump. I'm only getting 5v

***ANOTHER UPDATE....I managed to get the truck running! I was only getting 6.8v on fuel pump and 6.8v on fuel inertia cutoff switch. Turns out i needed to connect 2x DarkGreen/YellowStriped wires from Power Distribution Box to the 2x DarkGreen/YellowStriped wires on the engine harness to get the 12v needed on inertia cutoff switch and fuel pump as well

My problem ATM is when I turn the key the Starter does nothing. So I'm going to check the wiring on that bad boy and see whats not connected.

I'm having the very same problem and have been wrestling with it on and off for a loong time, just keep giving up. I can get my starter to turn the engine if I climb under the truck but not with the key. After reading this thread I have some ideas to try. If you ultimately solved the issue could you tell me how?

Hey Rough, I was looking at it too. but just realized what's going on. He hasn't posted on it for almost a year, but I'll offer you the same thoughts I had about his, not sure exactly how much alike it really is.
He started off with adding a LOT of extra wiring and such, so my thought was simply he didn't get it all put together correctly. Not sure if that helps you or not, or if it's even that similar. Might be just as well to start another thread telling your story, and also might review a few of the final posts on here, maybe he stumbled across something there that got his going
