just re-did my connector. The wire was frayed some and the insulation was gone about 2 inches above the amp2 connector. Took the connector apart, could not get the small crimp apart figuring I would break it, so solder new piece of wire in the large part of the crimp, Strange, went to crank, would not fire, just turned over. (like what happened to you maybe?). I knew the polarity was correct, marked it, Checked everything, with meter, no fire. I tried a few times more to crank, then it cranked right up. Maybe the ECU had to clear the memory or something. Fires up ever time okay now. Now I'll see if that resolved my no turn over/no crank issue when it is HOT after driving a while then stopping a few minutes and restarting.

so it could be a starter? When hot, I turn the key, nothing happens at all. just one little click from a relay down under the glove compartment area. ( I swapped those around also). There's no turnover, nothing otherwise, as if there was no starter installed.
Problem, it never happens when I get home, to test if there is 12v to the solenoid. If there was, then a starter problem for sure.
Driving home, it a rural area, no stop and go, so vehicle does not get as hot.
Thanks for your info.

Could be the starter, but...you still have to verify other protions of the starting system. Battery condition (load tested), cable ends at battery (clean and tight) ,ground at alternator bracket (clean and tight), connections on starter (clean and tight) and ignition switch. Yes, if you have 12 volts at the starter solenoid from the ignition switch and 12 volts from battery to large terminal on starter and a good ground...and it will not crank over...most likely the starter.
