    2011 Denali, no crank, has power, new starter - SOLVED

    Do you have any corrosion on the underhood fuse block?? Maybe you're in Utah but here in Vermont I had a fuse almost corroded away. Fuses have two small test holes on top and you can probe with a meter without removing fuse. Test all the starter related fuses??

    @Fless, I ran this for 10 min or more and felt the top of those nails. Not hot at all as I felt it. I measured the voltage between the two tops and it was .018V (18 millivolts) and I assume that was mostly from the resistance of the fuse/holder. I was able to ziptie the fuseholder a bit...
