88 5KQT Starting Problem

[Tony Hoffman]

There are two main culprits here. One would be the wiring going past
the exhaust into the starter. This breaking over time is VERY common.
If that is the case, I also relay the circuit from the fusebox. Feed
the relay off the jump post right in front.

The other is the starter switch. To check it, look for power coming
off it on the big red/black (I think) wire while in the cranking
position. The other big wire is constant and feeds the switch.

Let us know what you find.
