starter only working when jumping engine relay,

[fla2095]

I have to jump relay under hood to start my truck, ignition will go into run position and come back, full range if you will, replaced relay under hood and no luck, turn to start and everything appears to work, signal wise no theft light on nothing, need help.

Does it start in neutral?

The problem should be between the ignition switch and the relay. Here’s the diagram for a 98. See if the Crank fuse is blown, otherwise you’d check for voltage at connector C266 (pin D1) when cranking to verify the ignition switch.

Transmission range switch is also in the voltage path so if those pass then it would be the next to check.

was actually ignition sorry forgot password to this account and my email it was tied to. took so long to figure out this without the info. although now i have another issue, key starts the truck. but now ive lost accessory again, only thing i want accessory for would be the radio not fuses so idk may end up running toggle worst come to worst.

Please don't start cobbling on sketchy stuff. You can do more harm than good. Get the OE service manuals available here in forum, from there you, we , can get your problem fixed.

She's a 92 on paper can seems right inside, door, bed, motor and tranny are all varying years. I just want my radio to work without having to have key in run position with drl killing battery.

Just now realized I have two accounts. I am original poster.

If the radio, wipers and windows work otherwise, then it’s probably the ignition switch since they’re powered through it.
