Rig: Canadian 24v 1986 HJ60 2H--in western US, so no local mechanics that would know how to work on it....I've checked around and those present have less experience than i do on this type of rig. Ran great and always started in an instant before the transfer was made.
Problem: won't start after transferring engine/electrical system/harness to new body/frame. I activate the key to run position and normal glow and EDIC noises, then to start position and nothing happens--no starter action.
What I've done: checked with hot wire from battery to starter solenoid it it turns over great (key was in off position so it would not start). I followed the book testing for the Starter Relay test and it seemed to pass (i'm a novice so have doubts about my skill in doing that test.. with OHM meter).
Had my wife turn the key to start position while I had volt meter on the Starter Relay input plug (smaller gauge wire to relay; white with black and black wire with red line) and there was no voltage shown coming through to 'activate' the relay (I assume thats what that wire plug is for).
I've replaced the ignition relay just in case (had a spare), checked and replaced the starter fuse (was fine but did it just to be sure), changed out the ignition harness from the backside of the ignition switch (just in case--had a spare) and none of these changes and trying to start 'after each change' showed any difference in how the electrical system sounded (relays clicking to fuel system/glow system) nor did it result in a starter activation. Also checked connections, unplugged/plugged back in just to be sure--looked at wires to and from related systems....
I've really been trying so many things for a few weeks now so as to put forth all possible effort before asking for help.
The manual information doesn't seem to connect (for me to understand at least) how to test the under-dash system from the key through the relay block located above the drivers left foot, behind the fuse block.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!...
