When I try to crank I hear relay in back clicking. I change relay with same from under hood. I used wire to jump pins on starter relay under hood. It would crank but still no start.

Hi,

What I would suggest is to scan the can-bus system. CAN stands for controller area network. It ties everything together via a few wires. If there is a module/computer issue, it will point you in the right direction.

Here is a video showing how it's done:

Try scanning the system to see if there are codes available, and let me know what they are.

Take care and God Bless,

P0706, P0707, P0713. I run it down to broken wire on Transmission Range Sensor Connector. Where it connects to valve body. Have pigtail ordered. Thank You for the help ...

Hi,

That will certainly cause it. I'm glad to hear you found the issue. Wiring can be difficult, so good job.

Take care and feel free to come back anytime in the future.
