Hey guys.

So I haven’t driven the truck for a while so I charged the batteries and tried to fire her up, and nothing. Back story it’s an m1031 that got molested by a kid, block and generator scraped, converter to 12v starter.
All I can hear is the clicking on the Napa part# 7-01860-1 solenoid from the doghead mod which worked before. I thought the solenoid went out so I replaced it and still nothing, just that click.
I also arched the starter to make sure it was good and it is.
I checked voltage going to the Napa solenoid and it’s good to go, 12v constant (red wire) and 12v when I turn the key (purple wht stripe wire) and purple wire that goes the starter solenoid.
What else could have failed that ain’t allowing me to start this beast?
thank you in advance

You should be able to jump the big red and purple wires on top of that relay and get the starter to go. Fat screwdriver works.

Make sure your 12v is getting to the starter solenoid from the relay. If you manually triggered the starter with a screwdriver and it spun strong, the ground and supply sides to the starter should be good.
