No prior electrical problems but now the starter (key) switch produces nothing. Turning the ignition on lights the dash lights and the fan and other accessories work.
I can engage the starter by jumping the high-amperage solenoid located just inside the engine door and putting +24v to the white-red wire (running to the starter solenoid) on the same unit. So the starter and it's interconnecting wiring is all functional.
If I could find a wiring diagram showing the basic pieces and wire colors of the starter circuit I could trouble shoot it much easier. Anyone have a service manual handy, or at a minimum can describe what I should see (i.e., measure) happening at the solenoid when the key is turned to start?
I also find it odd the heavy red wire which is ultimately switched to the white-red on the small side of the solenoid has no juice in it...so even if the solenoid did engage, it has no _24v to send to the starter. I have a feeling the lack of +24 at the red wire is part of my problem.
