    07 LT 5.3L Sudden no start/crank

    Well, anyone still following this thread?? If so, quick update. Ended up having to replace the starter after all last weekend. Went to start it and again, nothing. Everything was getting power as it should, grounds were all good, so I took a long ratchet extension amd a hammer and beat on the...

    I definitely considered setting it a blaze a time or 2.. but I also needed to get to work so had to keep at it! Appreciate it!

    Yeah I definitely am not going to go out of my way right now to fix it if it breaks. However, if I happen to find myself at a junk yard in the future, i will look for one to have on hand.

    Since the starter relay and the run/crank relay share the same N5 ground on the bottom of the board and the run/crank N5 seems to have continuity and the starter doesn't, I added a jumper wire. I'm going to see if it works. If so, this will be my permanent fix. This jumper is just a ground wire.

    So I went back again this morning and did some continuity tests from the top of the board, starter relay terminals, to the bottom of the board terminals that plug into the banks of wires that run to the other components. Relay terminal 87 (F1)(to 40amp starter fuse) has continuity and is good...

    Once I get it all back together I'll try a jumper ground wire. Appreciate the compliment.

    Alright so after some more diagnosis this evening, I had my buddy hook up his $7000 scanner and scanned the entire vehicle. The Theft Module is good. The BCM was good. The ignition switch is reading key postion correctly, the signal is being sent when the key is turned to the crank position...

    I'll check it when I get home. I know what you're talking about. The firewall side is good. Haven't checked the engine side.

    The fuses that matter, checked for continuity. All good.

    I took the entire Fuse box out yesterday, took it apart, removed all fuses and relays, removed the inside board and it was all clean. No corrosion. I will ohm the ground later when I get home. I'm praying it's something simple like a bad ignition switch but at this point, I have no clue anymore...

    Thank you. I have a friend coming over tomorrow with an advanced scanner to see if it comes up with anything. I'll keep you updated and highly appreciate your help!

    I've tried N. Wiggling it while cranking, just took the ignition switch off and wiggled it while cranking. Stepping ******* the brake pedal. Nothing. It's like a wire or something somewhere just got cut or came off. Usually I'd see signs on failure before actual failure but this time it just...

    Wouldn't it throw a code if it lost coms with the BCM?
