starter wont run

Hey everyone been tryin to figure out why my starter wont work off the key... Right now the car is hooked up to push button start. I know its not a vats problem i get no securty light at anytime.. Car starts all most right away.. Key does what it is supposed to till u turn it to crank..at that point the brake light turns on in the dash and the guages do there lil thing.. Been goin over this prob for a while.. The last owner must have watched to much fast and furious.. There was switches everywhere.. Motor has been replaced.. Now i have the gm service manual and i noticed a few " spare" plugs under the ip.. Im not 100% sure but. I think that one of them is for the starter enable relay.. Not 100% sure but.. Could this be my problem.. I will post a couple pics of the stuff behind the left kick panel.

Not sure what the 2 unused plugins are for but i think the black one with the thick red and orange wires is the starter enable

Starting The Process

Using a voltmeter or test light (the type for testing for voltage, not a continuity tester) probe the 10 AWG yellow wire coming out of the steering column.

Now, when you try to start is there power there?


Happy Racing !
