Electrical problem
1997 GMC C1500 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 136.000 miles

Truck just got a new battery, 2 days after the new battery the car will not crank. Replaced the starter and solenoid but still no crank. I check starter relay and fuses, all good. With a screwdriver I bridged the power post to the ignition post on the starter, but still no crank. Any ideas? I am out of guesses.

Hi, if you replaced the batt and the starter and you cannot jump over at the starter. Make sure batt is fully chargedeither th e batt is dead or the starter is bad or the cables are bad or the batt terminal ends are bad loose or corroded. God luck billymac

No seriously. Come on man, cleaned the terminals, checked voltage drops. Everything is good. Very little voltage drop, getting almost reference voltage. I have a hunch it may be the nutral safety switch gave out, but want to know for sure. If anyone can even tell me where the nutral(I know I spelled it wrong, dgaf) safety switch is on this truck I'd appreciate of.
