that box clicks when you turn the key to start and there is 12.2 volts coming through the purple safety circuit wire but the starter does nothing even after i cleaned every electric connector i could find.
Thank you for all suggestions,
Dustin A.

i have that improvement kit which was installed by the prior owner as i said i cleaned all connections and checked fuses have power every where the relay in the improvement kit clicks when key is turned to start but the starter does nothing dad and i used a screw driver to jump the terminals on the solenoid but nothing but a few sparks happened i think it is the starter so to morrow after work and lunch i will be pulling the engine to mess with the starter.
Thanks,
Dustin
