Re: 96 chevy 2500 cheyenne
The relay is actually a part of the solenoid. When the 'S' terminal is energized, this draws the solenoid plunger up to engage the bendix drive with the flexplate. Also, it causes a disk within the relay portion to engage terminals that supply power from the battery to the starter. If this disk is burned or pitted, which is likely, then you will hear it 'click' but not turn over the engine. If this is what's happening, replace the solenoid. If there is no 'click' when you turn the key, then make sure that power is getting to the 'S' terminal on the solenoid, WHILE the key is in the Start position.
If there is no power at the S terminal while the key is in Start, then check the bulkhead connector for the wiring harness (big bolt in the center, usually a 10mm), unbolt to separate the engine harness from the bulkhead connector and then reattach. Also check operation of the ignition switch as this may be the source of your frustration as well.
