Starting System Wiring Questions

[Duo-Z]

I was wondering if someone could describe the wiring between the battery, starter and solenoid to me. I'm pretty sure I've got everything hooked up right, but its not working. So I'm going to double check it before I move on to other options. Maybe a picture if possible. Thanks

red wire with light blue stripe goes from ignition switch. to the clutch pedal (or auto shifter if its auto) then out the drivers side firewall along the fender behind the washer/coolant bottle across the core support and to the little post on the relay

the big positive goes directly to the post on the relay, the other post then has a big fat wire that goes all the way down to the starter

that being said i'd bet that your ignition switch is bad, or your clutch pedal interlock switch (or your auto shifter interlock switch if it is an auto)

i just took the two red with light blue stripe wires out of the back of the switch and connected them together to diagnose that i had a bad ignition switch, then left them that way so that i can start my truck without needing to push in the clutch
