Here's a mystery I hope someone can help me solve:

Had a brake and RABS light on and went to do the self check and pull some codes. Grounded the RABS wire and got nothing. Finally gave up and went to start it to move it and.... NOTHING.

I have looked at all the wiring, jumped the solenoid, replaced the NSS and ended up running a wire from pink ignition wire to the solenoid to be able to start it without a big screwdriver. My buddies say good enough, but I don't want to leave it like that. Knowing me, it'll die in gear and I'll end up cranking it when it's in gear and messing someone elses stuff up.

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance

Check for power to the red and blue trigger to the solenoid when trying to start it.
