Any current at the RD/LB wire at the starter relay during a start attempt?

I dont know ..I have not checked..I assume it is in the fuse/relay box...just pull the relay and check the voltage at the red with lt blue stripe?

Check the starter motor relay (solenoid) at the right/battery area.. In P/N you should see 12V at the RD/LB wire during cranking or an attempt..

Starter motor relay is in the right hand front corner of the engine compartment near the battery..
