Default 92 crank no start, 8 days chasing gremlins.

So I've had Hands-On 90% of the wiring harness in the engine bay. Nothing significant Factory solder joints frayed wires located but one. Low coil signal wire black and tan. 4.5 volt DC. Previous installed jumper wire from the black and tan goes towards the PDC. However during the first initial days tracking down the red and white constant Factory solder joint. I lost where this jumper wire landed. Jumper wire is a run start and Trevor's the test light while cranking. In the PDC one of the circuits listed can't remember the time has one grey coming in that splits to to graze in a black going out just three relays fuel pump ASD and AC. Those are two grades and a black that are butt splice together with a corroded end that has no home. So I've done some homework I'm still missing a crucial detail in this crank no start situation and this is my daily driver I need to get back up on the road so all you old school or is it have done all of the crank no start standard recommendations I have tried all those for the last 9 days I need your guys's help thank you

You might need to type your message, instead of using voice to text.

Or at least proof read it.

This gives me a headache trying to cipher out what you actually mean ("and Trevor's the test light" What does that mean?)

Do you yet have the 1992 factory service manual to refer to the wiring diagrams in?

That was first time using micro talk. Grammars the least of my problems, site navigating from droid phone. Struggling so thank you for your patience and good sense of humor. This truck is killing me
