you never guess what the problem was
i took long way around but figurd it out took fuse box out and checked everything but box and relays and fuses looked good so i connected it all back up then i thought it might be a break in the live feed to the fuse box so i got some heavy duty positive wire and connected it to fuse box and to battery and bingo lights on dash and everything works but stupid me realized it was the 80amp slow blow fuse that sits near battery so now i have power to everything but starter wont crank it is a new starter and solinoid
