Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing any electrical component.

My 1998 GMC 4x4 pickup is stuck in 1st gear have replaced the shift solenoids and is still stuck in 1st gear

If your 1998 GMC 4x4 pickup is stuck in 1st gear even after replacing the shift solenoids, it's recommended to have a professional mechanic inspect the Transmission Range Sensor, wiring/connectors, and the Transmission Control Module (TCM) for potential issues. These components can affect proper shifting, and a diagnostic scan can help identify the problem.

Wiring Diagram 1998 Chevy S-10 starter replacement

The starter has one large cable from the battery positive, and a wire that goes to the solenoid (Part of the starter) that becomes hot when the key ignition is turned to start. This also passes through the neutral safety switch. (So it wont start in gear) Not sure if this is what you need, a little vague.
