The problem I'm having is when turn the key everything comes on but when it tries to crank it's like the starter is not getting no power. Tried a volt tester on the soldeniod and show nothing and trace all wires to steering column and also tested the ingition wire as well and it was fine. So I found a transitor or relay box on the firewall and it was fine. Also checked fuses there fine. Confused or don't know were to look next. Help if u can?

Battery has a full charge and connections are all good? Did you check voltage circuits at the starter relay? Terminal 30 is hot all the time. My info showed terminal 86 goes hot with the key on. Terminal 85 is ground for coil side of relay. Terminal 87 carries voltage to starter solenoid, when relay is energized. I didn't think to look at any possible security system? Use a voltmeter to check fuse circuits and relay terminals.
