Hi,

Have you checked that the replacement battery is OK and that it has not gone flat also?

What is the voltage measurement across the battery terminals?

by

Yes we have done that voltage is good all the way to the turn of the key, but nothing

by

Check for proper grounds. Connect something like a set of battery cables from the battery (must be known to be good) to the starter. Turn your lights on and try to start. Let us know if the lights turn dim etc. You did check all fuses etc.

When you say then nothing. Are you loosing voltage when you turn the key to crank position? Also I been coming across alot of same condition on resold vehicles where a gps kill switch has been installed and is malfunctioning. Key on arc the solenoid on the firewall with a screwdriver…if truck starts look under steering column cover for gps spliced the into ignition switch. Hope this helps.
