What Have I Overlooked??? WON'T START
1991 Dakota, manual, 3.9L engine, runs great. ( I do a wire trick under the hood to start it but I want to start it in the cab with the key)
New starter, new battery, new lock cylinder, new starter switch. WON'T START! I turn the key all the way to "start" but no sound.
Any ideas out there?

Take the factory service manual's wiring diagrams, check ALL connections from the battery to the starter solenoid on the starter. Find out where it's not working.
Other ideas? Well, start at the solenoid, work backwards with a trouble light, and find out where the current isn't, well, current.
