Default 2002 Firebird V6 to LS1 Swap - No power to Starter Solenoid

Turn ignition, all gauges illuminate, manual fan switch and other switches work BUT no crank.

Grounds are good
Battery is good
Nuetral Safety Switch is good
VATS is deleted from PCM

Why am I not getting power to the stater solenoid?

reserved, Im looking through the diagrams for you now.....


Check white connector C220 cavity J. It will be a yellow wire with a black tracer. This is the body control module theft deterrent starter enable control. Just like I thought it does not matter that you had the vats deleted from the pcm, its the bcm that is not enabling the starter relay.

How would I remedy this if this is the cause?

Still no luck. Checked the yellow - black striped wire at the BCM and did both, applied power and grounded and neither worked ... Any other ideas?

Did you connect the large purple wire that runs to the starter solenoid?
My 98 everything worked but no power when trying to start.

pull the starter and get it bench checked.
rule out a bad starter first.

Got it to crank. The yellow / black wire wasn't connected on the harness end.

New problem, no power to fuel pump. I'm still using the V6 pump, should that matter?
