Okay, I checked to see if the reverse lights were coming on and they are now. This range sensor is the neutral safety switch, the first thing I attempted to replace but from the diagrams u sent, I don't think I did it correctly. It's kind of hard to read that diagram and understand exactly what I did or didn't do. Also, you said the dark green wire should be hot when in park. Are you talking about at the end port?

Okay, this means the neutral safety switch is bad or it is not installed correctly. I would check the electrical connector at the switch as well. Yes, the dark green wire should have power when the key is in the crank position. use a test light and probe the wire.

So, I went and bought a brand new NSS and installed it correctly but with no changes. I'm wondering what else would be the cause of the gear indcater not working and why still have no communication with anything I plug into the obd port. Is there a way I can just bypass this NSS altogether? I know it's not ideal and not the safest thing to do, but no one else will be driving my truck and I don't plan on selling it or anything so if I could just get it back drive able then I could focus on fixing it or anything else for that matter. Unless you have something else better that you think could be the culprit.

We must be missing something, so to recap and lets recheck, there is no power at the trigger wire of the starter when the key is in the crank position? There is no security light flashing and you have swapped out the starter relay and check all fuses in the starting system wiring diagrams I give in the first reply?

Okay, so, right off I found that the 10A crank fuse is not getting any reading with the key on. I took the fuse out and it's hot on one side, but I put a new fuse in, and that same side isn't hot neither is.

Good find, it looks like the ignition switch is bad which is what powers the crank fuse. But can you also check the IGN A fuse as well the way you checked the crank fuse?

Can you please check to see if the red wire into the ignition switch has power when in the crank position?

You can see by the wiring diagrams it should have 12 volts, please check the voltage at the IGNA fuse.

Also, the security light is now flashing again. I tried to reset the security and tried the relearn process twice.

Does the dark green wire coming out of the neutral safety switch had power when in the crank mode?
