The key has to be turned to start to get fuel pump going. I’m having intermittent no crank , jump hot to solenoid with relay removed did work for a while. It appears that the connection between top of fuse box where relay would plug into and where the terminal blocks underneath are is bad .
Video clearly says to ground it to a clean firewall ground. If you don’t understand what that means DO NOT attempt this DIY fix. Read the reviews. There are plenty of people that understand the fix. Sorry your not able to understand the instructions.
Call me dumb I don’t care but explain the wiring to me like I’m 5. So one wire from the relay post to the firewall. Do you splice that wire into the cab? Cause I only see one wire from the relay which is green and one wire off your firewall which is yellow…. So where does the second wire come from???????
Hey there, so we got a 04 Sierra 4x4 and switched out the Neutral safety switch. What a pain in the ass.. so-After finally getting this thing on.. no crank over Long story short- Watched your video- Trying the fuse made the engine start but not officially crank all the way over Going to try the park neutral switch and see what’s up. This has been a nightmare. Any other suggestions would be HELPFUL. 4 days in. OMG! Is it a ECM? A TCM? After installing a new NSS, do we HAVE to reset anything . I’m about ready to back this bad boy into a lake … 😮
Does everything operate like it should? Because yesterday I did the wire to relay starter method so I could drive and the a/c wasn’t working and there was a big power loss from the engine.
Helps alot checking my s10 first thing in the morning! My starter tested good got new relays for the oem fusebox had it jump w the a screwdriver twice then nothing!!
I have a question I have 6.6 duramax van 2006 g3500 and my van will start in the morning but after an half hour of driving all my dash lights go hay wire and then back to normal sometimes stay off .. after I stop I have have to wait at least half hour before it will start also sometimes I turn it off my key domes out but van stays running…… help
You could have just jumped 87 to 30 on the relay locations on the block. No need to run it all the way to the battery but this way works too. If you are driving you did it right... 😂. I'm in MI too. I feel your pain with rust
I have a 2000 yukon denali. I have no power to the starter relay. Everything else has power in the fuse box. I assume the wires going to the relay is bad?????
It's the relay ist an aftermarket relay.... blow the horn if it works change the 2 and now your truck starts horn is dead now go get a real gm relay ....junkyard
Pretty Damn ingenious!! I don't know what us gumball heads would do with out guys like you. Not only do you spend your precious time trouble shooting these difficult issues, but you make it even more of a challenge to record it. You Rock! Keep giving knowledge; it's the one thing that we can't take back.
There is a bad ground wire that's on the top of the engine. It's the pcm ground. Basically the fix is to ground it to the firewall. You instead did it at the relay. So myself I'd just keep doing what your doing. There are a few videos out there showing the actual wire wire location
@@toddrabb1892so I’m about to attempt this. So the wire you have going from the relay goes to the firewall, and also spliced from the same wire into the cab for the push start switch?
I can do this to start my truck but my abs and brake lights stay on and my ac doesn’t work. I dont know what could be the problem. I have new starter new alternator new battery new ignition switch mabye the pcm? Ive checked my fuses all seem to be working fine i used to be able to start the truck once in a while but now it doesn’t want to start at all
My fuel pump relay is rapidly clicking with key in the on position, I took relay out and got wired my fuel pump. It’s just turning over. Any help is appreciated, tia
So I had a key made at Walmart just to be a door key… well it turns out that somehow it started my truck so I have been using that key for a week now w/o any problems. Today i locked my keys in my ignition and had to slim Jim in and push unlock button to gain access inside. After doing so I got in and my truck wouldn’t start. Just acts as if the starter don’t work but I know its fine. The security light is flashing now as well. If I run direct power to the 10 amp fuse inside it don’t try to start either. Just a ding from Interior. But if I run power to a spot where the relay goes it cranks but sounds real weird and don’t actually start up. Lots of info I know but I’m at a loss and stuck in some parking lot. Anyone with any ideas on this weird situation help me out? Already did the 3x10 min off/on deal to reset security but did t work. HELPPPP plz.
i did this but just ran a 18 gauge cable from the relay to my battery, but now my abs light and brake light come on, as well as my ac not working and slow acceleration, like my transmission isn’t shifting, not really sure what the issue is. :(
I have replaced every damn thing in my 2002 avalanche and tried all these tricks nothing works, bought a new brain still nothing I did the 3 10 min resets 20 times security lights off still wont work please help, my trucks been down 6 months noone can figure it out
Kinda did this to my 92 gmc. In addition spliced a hot wire to a start button and to the solenoid incase something popped in the OEM starter wiring. Nice job!
OK - same situation on my '05 GMC Sierra. Seems like an ecm signal or lack thereof. Getting ready to wired the bypas, i went ahead and pulled the ECM1 & ECM2 fuses, and replaced. Could hear an audible reset. Jump in started right up BUT with reduced engine power - pulled negative cable, reattached. Cleared dash and started right up. Still not sure what the underlying issue is RE: ECM signal.
Mr Rabb. Sir you just saved my trucks life. I had watched every imaginable video and was to the point of settingy truck afire when I stumbled across it video. Thank you very much sir. My truck thanks you as well
