Hey Y'all,
I have a '99 Sport, Auto, 4x4, 136k, loads of "personality" that I have not been able to get started for the past week. It began turning over very slowly when it would start about a week or two before she finally gave up...
What it is doing:
When i turn the key, I am getting a click from the front, what i think is either the relay or starter? But, only the first one or two times, then nothing.
I have tried:
-Took the starter off, cleaned it up and had it checked at autozone, it passed
-I was able to jump it with a screw driver once, but have not been able to since then. I get the same single click, which makes me think starter?
-Replaced ignition switch in column
-Cleaned up all of the connections that I could find (battery posts, grounds, starter posts, the wire that goes to the solenoid)
-I tried starting in N, wiggling the shifter, bypassing the NSS through the relay, all to no avail
-I tested the voltage at the battery, starter, and solenoid. Everything tested ok (12.6 resting and 11.8 when cranking) i think, except I was only getting 9.8-10.2 at the solenoid which is where the problem is I think.
-I tried working my way up the wire to see where I was losing voltage, but got a reading of 0 at the next connector....
So, I guess my question is what is the name of the connector that the brown wire connects to (it also has 3 other wires, 2 that connect to the alternator and 1 that I didn't really track down) and should that be my next piece to replace? I have searched for "4 wire connector" "ignition wires" "brown wire" "pigtail" "wiring harness".
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, I am really at a loss...
