Default Starting problems...

When i turn the key on all the electronics start up fine, but nothing happens. no sound at all. I was told to get the starter checked, its fine, the battery was checked, its fine. I was then told to change the relay and i did but nothing happened. I used a wire on the relay to jump it and the truck fired right up. Is this an ignition problem? Oh and fuses look fine.

When you bypass the new relay it starts, it sounds like you still have a bad relay. Maybe the new one is bad too. Take it back to store and exchange it for another one.

I think he's jumping the switching side of the relay. Which means the problem is something blown or disconnected in the under-hood power box or or the ignition cylinder on the column.
