2011 not starting. no crank no click

I was using a wire from a bread bag to fit in the hole. but I can redo it

 

Never used that, but I think it would work.
Easy test would be at the battery.
Place the bread bag wire in the test light jaws.
Then probe side to positive and wire to negative.
If the light lights up, the bread bag wire is ok to use for testing.

 

Ok connected a jumper to the negative of the battery. And connected the clip ent to the jumper. And probe to pin 4. And crank lights up

 

Now put your breadtie jumper between Pin 4 (Violet) and 5 (Black/Yellow) of the connector, install the relay and see if the truck starts.

 

Jump pin 4-5 and no crank
Sorry it took so long. I thought the bread wire wasn’t strong enough was looking for bigger wire

you know what. It’s getting kind of late for me. Still got to make dinner can we continue tomorrow.
Thank you guys for all ur help today. May u guys have a blessed evening

 

You had the starter relay, STA fuse, and starter plugged in when you did this test?

 

When I was cleaning up. I noticed that I never plug the sta relay back in. Sorry
But the starter signal wire was plugged in. Going to check the sta relay first thing tomorrow when I get home from work.

 

The alternator was replaced 6 months ago (or so I think I read). Truck started to die when reversing and wouldn't start back up. I'm leaning toward a bad alternator being put in. Second thought is a wire has been cut/chewed/corroded somewhere along the way.

 

Good gosh Almighty....if you unplug the small wire on the starter...make a wire to plug into the starter and then touch it to the positive post of the battery...
will it crank then?

 

I think we are waiting to see if OP puts the STA relay back in and sees if the truck starts

 

Oh ok...

 

We left off with the Neutral switch being jumped.
But OP forgot to reinstall the relay when testing.
We’ll see later tonight.

 

Going to be home in like 30 minutes. And going to plug sta relay back in. And try to crank motor. And lyk how it goes when I find out.

 

I would definitely consider changing the terminal post or at least cleaning them in order for them to make proper contact with the battery. As simple as it sounds this can be a cause wether your vehicle starts or not. Don't forget to clean the battery post as well.

 

Ok I reinstalled the sta relay and checked pin 4-5 by the transmission both 4-5 lights up when cranking. Connected 4-5 with jumper crank. And still no cranking from motor

 

Will do

 

Don't ask me how I know LMAO

 

I don't know about all these pins (I mean, I understand that all these pieces to be working properly for it to turn over and start with the key). Maybe I missed it, but have you validated that the starter works at all? Take everything else out of the equation and make sure the starter will actually crank. I'd eliminate one thing at a time, and I don't recall that being eliminated yet.

 

Had to google it. jk but cleaned both terminals
