Battery was good to go and recharged today for good measure...i'm thinking relay by the clicks i am doing. Not even getting a click from the solenoid, it is all coming from behind the glovebox

 

This, check your voltages it's the only way to know what the issue is...

 

Good info, I appreciate it. I posted replies to a couple of others in reference to it might being a starter relay or ECU based on all the clicks I hear from behind the glove box. Even when i depress the gear selector button. Going back outside now to double check the grounds...

 

I'm going back outside now, I'm going to check everything again, anywhere and anything i can get a reading from I'm checking it.

 

Have you checked your ignition switch lately? Very easy to do on a 94. Once removed try giving it a crank with a small flat blade screw driver and give it a wiggle while twisting. I'd bet a buck it's contacts are Lucas-fried.

 

In the ETM for the 95 there is a great troubleshooting flow chart and it starts with the starter solenoid relay.....which is what your hearing click. Yellow relay right next to and behind the green relay on bottom ledge of relays. It's behind RH kick panel. Good luck eh.

As far as I'm aware of what you've checked and done and what hasn't been checked it's either the ignition switch, solenoid relay or the alarm unit breaking the ground connection between the ignition switch and the starter bendix.

 

Thanks, I am going to try that tomorrow. I have to be honest when it comes to the relays my DIY skills are zero. I am going to have to do a lot of reading before I tackle those tomorrow. I am going to start with the ignition switch. I am also going to drop another inhibitor switch in the tranny just to try and see if mine is fried. My research revealed if that is in fact faulty there is no way to power the solenoid on the starter. I will let you know what i find during tomorrows rounds of surgery...

 

The Rave (at least my copy, there are a few) shows how to check the relay pins by number. This is in the Starting/Charging section of the ETM - Electrical Troubleshooting Manuals.

The sad part of the problem is it can be one of several things. Again, isolation is the only way to find out. Using the ETM will help a ton by following the wiring diagrams. Pretty darn easy.

 

Well, got the wiring starting issue sorted out....sort of. Thanks to everyone's help and replies. The issue ended up being a corroded starter ignition relay wire and ground strap that connects to the starter. The starter ground strap had corroded at the ground location and the starter ignition relay wire that plugs into the bladed connection had corroded back near the rear of the motor. I crimped a new section onto it and then crimped a new connection to where it connects to the starter. Now for the fun part.......................
I turned the key it was sluggish at first and then it appears/sounds like the bendix is not engaging the flywheel. I have hooked up jumper cables to help recharge the battery tapped with a rubber hammer trying to free it. It spins strongly but it is not engaging. I am assuming the best order of business next is to remove the starter and re-installing it and see if that helps along with recharging the new battery....again

 

BTW, I also replaced the ground strap. in case anyone else has this problem I found one at Auto Zone for 5.99.
