Daryl, fuse #59 in the driver's side fuse box under the hood powers your starter relay. Attached is a pic of your starter relay, which could also be the reason your starter isn't engaging.
Also check the fuse for your starter relay and it's holder (polish off deposits)
Well, looking at the schematic, there is the IGN A (Fuse 6) in the under-hood fuse block feeding power to both the ignition switch and to the NO contact of the starter relay. Turning the ignition switch to the START position sends this voltage thru the CRANK (Fuse 8) in the instrument panel fuse block and thru the PARK/NEUTRAL position switch, thru the starter relay coil to ground. This should activate the Starter relay and pass voltage to the starter solenoid to ground, activating it. One the starter solenoid activates, batter power is sent to the starter motor, activating it. If, as you say, the fuses are good, the starter relay was replaced and is good, and the Park/Neutral position switch was replaced and is good, then then only items left are the ignition switch itself, the starter solenoid/motor, or the wiring of the circuit.
The starter has a relay, not a fuse. Check your owner's manual. Switch the starter relay with the headlamp relay or another relay that is the same and see if that works. If it does, you have a bad relay. Get one cheap at pick a part/
on the solenoid there are 2 major terminals one terminal will have a large wire under the nut going into the starter and one will not have anything. The battery lead (positive) will go on the terminal that has no wire . A small wire will go to the very small terminal between the larger ones. Starter wire from ignition switch. Circuit is power from the ignition switch energises the solenoid which closes a set of contacts inside the solenoid and allows the current from the battery to flow out the second terminal down into the starter to turn the armature.
Hi, if you're talking about the 10 amp fuse #12, pull out the starter relay and put in a fresh fuse. Try to start the truck and then check the fuse. If the fuse is OK, get a new starter relay. If the fuse burned without the relay, there is a short between the ignition switch and the starter relay. If you have a manual transmission, you can further isolate the short by pulling the connector off the switch above the clutch pedal. Put another fuse in and try again. If the fuse burns, the short is between the ignition switch and the clutch switch. If not, it's between the clutch switch and the starter relay. Please let me know if you have questions, and thanks for using FixYa.
Replace the starter relay in the fuse box behind the glove box. The fuse ONLY powers the control coil portion of the starter relay. If it's blowing, there's a short in the winding or a short between the relay and the theft deterrent module. Bad relay is most likely culprit
Try tapping on the starter with a hammer...it may be that it is stuck on the flywheel or that the solenoid on the starter has gone bad....Be sure to check your ignition fuse(s), and any relays. There may be a fuse box located under the hood with fuses and relays inside...look for any ignition fuses, starter fuses, and starter relays...Check to see if these fuses are ok...to check a relay...have someone else turn the key and carefully listen to the relay to see if it clicks...if not then change the relay...if so, then most probable cause would be the starter and or the starter solenoid
Your Starter Relay, located in the Relay/Fuse Box/Panel is sticking and causing the Starter "Run-On".
Locate the Starter Relay in the Relay/Fuse Box/Panel.
The identification and location of the Relays/Fuses should be located in your Owners Manual, or on the inside rear Cover.
There are usually Relays in the Box/Panel which are the same Type (size and shape). Switch out the suspected bad Starter Relay with another non-engine Relay that is KNOWN to work.
Recheck the operations of both these functions.
If the Starter is not still experiencing "Run-On" and the other function is now malfunctioning. The suspected Relay is bad and needs to be replaced.
