Good morning! Still have a no crank issue. The relays checked out good. Is there a way to bypass the park/neutral switch on the transmission?

I attached a diagram for you to view. The terminals I circled are where you need to jump at the relay.

I've already replaced the (gray) inhibitor relay with new one. Do I still need to jump it?

Okay, I jumped the relay across #6 and #7 and it started right up. Let it run awhile, shut it off and no crank! Any other items I can check?

So far this is what I've replaced:

Battery, ignition switch, inhibitor relay, starter (two years old).

Okay, when you are at the relay, is the one terminal from the ignition switch have power with the key in the start position?

If it does, you may have a bad ground for the relay.

If it does not, then you have a wiring issue between the switch and the relay.

It is grounded to the body itself.

Use a test light on the relay as a ground when someone turns the key to start.
