2005 Dudge Sprinter 144
FIRST I read as many related threads, but need more input. Read this thread on troubleshooting and sounds closest to my problem.

2004 DUDGE SPRINTER ELEPHANT
Turn key and starter does not engage, no solenoid click, have not checked relay yet, dark and cold front came in, just north of CHICAGO. Have had slight hesitating when key in start position but always starts.
Here are my possible related facts. Took starter out, tested on starter tester, works perfect, 1 year old replaced with alternator and battery.
Removed IGNITION 15 amp fuse under steering column and when key is in ON position fan runs.
I have a fob that is not programmed and I thought SCREEM maybe stuck after using, however never happened before. I have this FOB on same keyring as programmed good key.
FOB that works had dead batteries, changed them, no help.
Wiring harness endured some rash that threw some sparks/stall 6 months ago, wrapped with gorilla tape, rubbing against steering column joints near starter.
OK, reinstalled starter with jumper to manually engage. Turned key to on and then manually tried to start via jumper..NO START cranking fast like it should. Will check relay and column fuse panel in morning and give harness repair area a look see.
ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEAS, no start error on dash no OBD codes from Scan guage. Just took a month off and need to get back to work.
Anymore ideas, check relay, fuse panel???????? Can I disable SCREEM?, maybe bad ECM??? BAD KEY SWITCH (I guess troublleshoot will tell) help??
Anyone have diagram of trouble areas on column fuse panel and which relay under seat may be the culprit? FOUND DIAGRAMS FOR RELAYS FUSES
