My truck would not start. Managed to get it running by bridging the terminals on the starter relay. Replaced the relay, same result. Could the ignition starter switch be the problem?

Hello I am Danny.

A few questions first. When trying to start do you hear the starter relay click? When cycling the ignition switch does it feel loose/sloppy? Is there a factory anti-theft system? Has Ignition switch ever been changed prior? Tampered with from vehicle theft? I am attaching a few test diagrams for you to test a few things. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions. Danny-

Yes, the relay clicks, no issues with sloppy/feel with the key engaged, to my knowledge, ignition switch/module has not been changed since I purchased the vehicle. Never have tampered with the anti-theft system. Will review the diagrams and update as soon as I can. Thanks for the reply.
