Okay guys. First, thanks. I could have been more accurate and would have been had I been looking for diagnostic work. All of my domestic experience cried solenoid but I did a bit of reading.
Second, Rad, I did my homework including reading everything you have written on several sites... thus the concern over resistance in wiring. But your experience on the older 22r wasn't enough in this specific case. You are sure the auto has no relay? Its been reported that way and Could be... but the evidence (not great evidence I admit) is that there may be two. Some find them on either side of the engine bay and some under either kick panels where the solid-energetic 'click' comes from (passenger side). I was going to try to rewire a section from the ignition to the relay with 10 gauge... if it panned out resistance wise. Bottom line I do not know but I will figure it out.. At 110k in a rig that was driven twice a week max... doubt it is the starter/solenoid. Could be tho...may be the years more than use. I'll find out soon enough.
I wasn't asking for a fix or problem solving. What I was looking for was someone who has found the relay on this specific model (if it has one) so I can whip out the magic meter and get to work.
If there truly isn't one... ill refocus. It isn't the distributor or crank sensor or the 4 gauge as some have reported. Unfortunately I do not bend like I used to so was looking for a hand in locating the relay (or something making that click noise) which is apparently crammed up somewhere under the dash... if it is a real click that even matters in life. It is tied to the starting system.
Putting in an independent push interrupter under the hood for now so I will not be stranded at a trailhead or worse in the Tahoe area which is colder than chit. Childs play. I'll fix the rest when it warms up a bit.
all I gotta do now is pull the engine so I can get to the solenoid
it does have a solenoid? hehe strange system.
