Default 2002 Dodge Dakota No Crank, No Start

3.9L 02 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab Sport 2WD. Randomly one day, got in tried to start it up, nothing. All I can hear is the engine relay, the fuel pump, and all the electronics coming on. Battery's fine, starter tested fine, I'm thinking its a connection problem? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

There are soooo many places to start here bro... Verify you have power to the starter by probing the brown wire at the starter. the verify power at the red/yellow wire at the PDC. No aftermarket alarm? no previous symptoms? KOEO mils?

Default Thanks

I appreciate the reply crateampsrock, had it towed to a shop. My solenoid went bad(forgot that whenever Advanced Auto Parts benchtests a starter, they bypass the solenoid and send power directly to the starter. So, since I purchased the starter 5 months ago, I got a free replacement. Thanks anyway.
