That unfortunatly was not it. The wire had some corrosion and after cleaning it still didn't work. This is an intermitent problem as it sometimes starts right up. I've run several schematics off the GMTruckCentral.com web site and feel it is somewhere in a relay or sensor, Any thoughts? Thanks in advance

I've checked the ground pathways and they seem to check out. I replaced a fuel pump about a year ago and have replaced the FP relay as well. I pulled the instrament cluster and cleaned the contacts on the mylar strip. If the volt meter doesn't power up, it just won't start.I havn't checked the ignition switch yet as I'm not sure how to take it and the tumbler apart yet.
