With Spring time coming up we will have to get your A/C working. ;-)

Reroute or tie off. If it is too short to do that you may need to replace and lengthen it.

That is the starter solenoid wire I replaced last fall. The sheriffs dept had cut the wire off and installed a remote starter switch. We decided to return it to stock and do away with the emote switch. Replaced the last 6-10" of the purple starter solenoid wire. I didn't have any purple wire...

You only need to crawl under the truck to test the voltage at the starter. No need to turn the key. Touch the red lead of the multimeter to the large terminal of the starter solenoid (with the battery cable) and the black lead of the multimeter to ground. You should read 12v If you are checking...

Let's also check the voltage at the starter itself. Red lead on the big red wire and black to ground.

Where is this solenoid?

Reviewing the issues. With the starter relay removed, use a piece of wire (not a paper clip) and install between the two purple wires. Then turn the key. With 12v at the purple/white wire and zero ohms on the purple wire going to the starter, you should be sending 12v to the starter solenoid...

His starter is an OEM rebuild. The previous owner (sheriff) started the convertion. Barrman and I helped him finish the Roscommon conversion. Many wires where butchered.

The GP wire attaches to the small terminal with the light blue wire. The cigarette lighter should attach to the diamond shaped 12v terminal block (if you want power all the time) Time to test the purple wire again. ;-)

I don't remember those wires when we worked on the truck last fall. Where do they go to? *** edit *** Those may be going to the manual glow plug switch, which was formally the manual starter switch. You need to track them down

You are going to have to check the condition of the purple wire going from the starter relay, thru the firewall and down to the starter. Since it was cut when you got it, there may be other "issues" that the county created. Even my repair might be the issue. You will need a long piece of wire...

Go to walmart and buy a cheap multimeter. You need to check the voltage at the starter relay. See if you are getting 12v at the purple/white wire when the key is turned to the start position. we need to see if the ignition switch is sending 12v to the starter circuit. It may as simple as a...

Yes. One goes to the ignition switch and the other to the starter. Just thought of something. When we worked on the truck last year I has to replace the last 6" of the purple wire at the starter. Possible not not likely that wire has come apart.

Since your truck has the Roscommon 12v conversion, you can remove the under dash starter relay and jumper the two purple wires together. Did you install the DH relay upgrade?
