Default Need help with switch to relay

I am in the process of removing a botched wiring job from the previous owner, he had a bass system control spliced it to what seems like every wire under the dash. I removed what I believe to be everything an rerouted the wire properly.

Problem I am having is the there is no start from the key?
All fuses have been checked
Pulled the relay and it has power at the 30 terminal, very little at 86 terminal.

I can use a jumper to go from 30 to 87 and it will fire up if key is on and turn over when off.

I believe my problem is from the relay to the switch ... or possibly the switch itself..curious if any one has a wiring diagram from switch to relay or any advice.

I also changed the neutral safety switch during this process, the pig tail had a freyed wire on it, resoldered everything together. I can get a small amount of current at connector as well.

There is also a factory group of 3 wires coming out of the door under the dash, that I cannot seem to place, I believe this is for the door buzzer/dome light switch..I felt inside the body and the button is not connected.\

Seems like it is one maverick wire keeping my truck from firing up?

What year truck? Almost sounds like the previous owner wired in a remote wire for an amp to the ignition.....

1995 2500 4x4 Gas..I think you may be on to something, he spliced into the hot (red wire) from the colum, along with the blue wire. He only removed the outer insulation and squeezed the wires together. All of my lights, radio, door locks, blinkers ...etc. everything is working properly. The key will not kick the ignition..The fuel pump is even engaging.

Thanks for the link, I actually have down loaded that manual previously and searched it over the weekend and was not able to find any diagrams. I think it was too hot and I was frustrated with my electric problem to find it.

I went over all the diagrams and it looks like the only wires I don't have routed are for the bypass jumper, my leads are hanging freely ..the diagrams do not show where they plug ??? Any ideas of where to route these wires?

Can some one please just look under their dash and tell me how to route the bypass jumper. It is a little green conector that attaches to the big wire connector harness mount that goes to the fire wall. Lets say you are looking at your brake pedal and off to the left there is a mass of wires all going to a white box and that white box is attached to a bracket that attaches to the fire wall. The bypass jumper is a 2 wire connector (green) closest to the fire wall...

So I figured it out, the bypass jumper loops back into itself. It does not wire into C134 like the book suggest's. Ignition works again..this follow up is for anyone that searches bypass jumper.
