Tried to start my truck this mourning and it will not turn over, not even a starter sound, battery is ok everything lights up, tried it in nuetral also - nothing, checked the starter fuse -- ok. Could it be the starter relay? Where should I begin?

Try tapping the starter motor. If it starts then its bad.

Found the problem, after further inspection of the starter my eye caught a glims of bare wire next to the transmission, as it turns out a rock had damaged the wire connection to the transmission range sensor. Of the 5 wires one was completly disconnected and the others badly damaged, I hooked up the one and the truck fired right over, although I need a new wire connection to the tsr Ill be going to the junk yard soon as auto parts stores do not carry wire connectors for these.
