Default NO Crank NoStart problems persists

Still having the NO Crank-No Start problems. The starter solenoid has no voltage to at the Purple wire (S) terminal but 12.68V to the starter, when the ignition is in the Start position. In the IP Fuse box fuses 50 and 52 have 12.6+ voltage in but "0" out, fuse 14 has no voltage, again with Ignition ON. The safety Neutral switch (6 speed) has continuity and no crank when jumped, and the ignition switch is new (had one in reserve) ACDelco, but it looks exactly like a Standard Part and not the black/green/white like in Bill Curlee's pictures. Had a bad TRD relay and replaced that--no interior lights. Tested the battery in with the cables disconnected and 12.68V. Any thoughts on what I am overlooking. 2000 Corvette with 45,000 miles Sometimes I think I can hear the relay (TRD) relay click but not sure.

You have to have 12v across fuse 50 and 52, 50 feeds the ignition switch, and 52 supplies 12v to the TDR contacts, you have to find out why you do not have 12v across both fuses. Fuse 14 is hot only when the switch is turned to the start position on the ignition switch, but it will not have 12v if you do not have 12v across fuse 50.

As a follow up, I reinserted every fuse, check every connection to starter, ignition switch, etc, reset the TRD relay, and finally it runs. Thanks for your help.

Gordy, how did you "reset the TDR"? Yes, I realize it is an old thread. Thanks.

There is no way to “reset” a relay like the TDR…maybe remove and reinstall.
