1998 dodge ram 1500 won't turn over
Alright, so I just rechecked the power from the yellow wire at the ignition switch. I also checked all the rest of wires and I'm pretty sure I'm doing it right. But I didn't get any power at all. So... F. I'm not sure what to do from here.
Now I am confused. Are you getting power from the yellow wire from the ignition switch?
No. Unless I am checking it wrong at the control switch or the part where all the wires meet and flow out from the ignition switch. I wish I could post pictures. Because the yellow wire turns into a red wire and then into the fuse and then into wires that go to the pdc. Do as of right now I don't think the yellow/red wire gets power.
I would look for the bypass wire where the clutch switch would be on a manual trans truck, and see if it hasn't fallen out. Should be a connector somewhere near where the clutch pedal would hang.
All wires below the steering column are hooked up in their appropriate places. I can't figure this problem out. It doesn't seem as if anything is wrong. Although the truck won't start. It's just not getting power to the starter. I think I'm going to tow it to a shop. Unless you guys have any further ideas. Thanks for the help
From the ignition switch down the yellow wire to the switch gets 4 volts of power. I don't know what the relay is plugs into is called. But at that point it's getting power. From that relay to the starter relay is not getting power.
Is the relay tripping? If it is, make sure it gets its 12 volt power supply. (separate from the control circuit.) If the relay isn't tripping, swap it with the blower relay. See if that makes a difference.
4 volts is kinda low though, may not be strong enough to pull the relay all the way. What's battery voltage look like?

I tried swapping out relays. But that didn't make it a difference. Battery voltage was at 50 set on 250. And how do you tell if the relay is tripping? Those 4 volts is on the control circuit relay where the yellow wire goes into it. I dont get anything directly from the yellow wire off of the ignition.
