No crank. Battery reads 12.6. On starter relay, jumped out post 30 to 85 (or 86) and starter turns on. Replaced said relay. Replaced starter safety switch. Removed and clean key ignition switch.

There is a fuse #24 7.5 amp in the interior fuse panel and a fuse # 5 in the fuse panel under the hood that needs to be checked for power.

Here is a guide and the fuse locations so you can check it out:

Here are the starter motor wiring diagrams as well so you can see how the system works. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
