2005 Chevy Silverado 4.3 not getting any power to my ignition coil.

The white with black stripe was shorting out so I thought it was a ground so I grounded it to the chassis and every since did that I am not getting my keyed ignition power to the ignition coil. Any help of where to start would be greatly appreciated.

    Where does this white with black stripe wire come from, where is it located on the engine or vehicle ? The ignition system wiring diagram show a white with black trace from the ignition control module to the coil . If this is the wire you grounded, you probably fried the ICM - ignition control module. The pink wire at the coil is the hot (battery voltage) wire. Gets battery voltage from INJ 2 fuse 15amp. -location under hood fuse box. The white with black wire is control - triggers the coil . INJ 1 fuse is probably blown - supplies voltage to the ignition control module , grounding the white with black trace may have caused it to blow.

    Ignition Coil and ICM
    The ICM is connected to the PCM by an ignition control (IC) circuit. The ICM also has a ground circuit and shares an ignition 1 voltage supply with the ignition coil. The coil driver in the ICM controls current through the ignition coil based on signal pulses from the PCM. There is no back-up or by-pass function in the ICM.

    shorting wires willynilly will burn out a fuse if lucky or blows up the PCM,
    no tech one earth does that, ASE class day1.
    never do this.... okay
    some cars have $3000 of electronics on board
    we never do that ever.
    in fact the service manual; tells that and even says use no 1960s' bunk testlamp probes here or blow up the pCM ,bcm etc you will.
    hot-wiring anything here is dead wrong acts.

    yes I hot wire starters soles still but with the tiny wire pulled,,

There is no white with a black stripe involved in the ignition circuit.

https://easyautodiagnostics.com/gm/4.8L-5.3L-6.0L/ignition-system-circuit-schematic-1

If you grounded a wire that was live, you will have blown a fuse that feeds it. You can only get a FULL wiring diagram from a Service Manual. Test the fuses with a multimeter set to ohms without removing them using the the two contacts in the top of the fuses. Video show how.

Never use ohms on any live circuit or blow up the meter
in this case, use only volts and is 100% safe for meter and car
and 12vdc is bad., 0v good
some fuses are dead key off , key on and no 12vdc across those
a fuse is a perfect short and in hand 0 ohms is safe to do.
but tedious pulling 50 + fuse in my car
so I use volts only. beside seeing blown to H3Ll with eyes on.
and smoke there too (fuse element smoked)

if the fuse is blown , 12vdc is there, and the ohm meter blows up.
hot all times fuses scads.
end electronic 101 class. (day 1)

2005 Chevy Equinox, no start, no spark from the ignition coil.

You have dis ignition, correct? You have a coil pack, no distributor? Note the diagram. Take connector loose from icm, use both ends of test light between pink wire, voltage, and solid black wire, ground. Check with key on, If test light comes on, you have voltage and ground to icm and problem is elsewhere. Just a thought? good luck

94 s10 fuel pump relay clicking no start

The clicking noise at the relay indicates that the relay is bad, or that the wires to the relay and/or connector is bad.

A relay is an electronically activated switch. Inside is a coil. When 12v+ is applied to one end of the coil, and a ground is applied to the other end, the coil gets charged, creating a magnetic field. This magnetic field literally moves a metal lever from position A to position B. One end of the lever is attached to constant battery power. When coil not energized, the lever rests in postion A (which in the case of the fuel pump relay is feeding the battery power to an unused terminal). When the coil is activated, the lever moves to position B (which in this case is a terminal connected to your fuel pump wire). Thus, when the relay is activated, 12v+ is being directed from the battery to the fuel pump.

This fast clicking indicates that the relay coil is not getting a constant voltage or ground supplied to it, thus the lever is moving back and forth between position A and position B, either there is a wiring issue, a connector issue, or an internal issue with the relay.
The relay has 4 wires, black, grey, orange, green with white stripe.
black = ground
orange = battery = 12v+ always
grey = wire out to fuel pump (on some cars this wire is tan with white stripe)
green/white = signal wire from ECM

When key is turned ON, the ECM sends 12v+ out on the green/white wire to the relay for about 2 seconds - this activates the relay coil for 2 seconds, thus running the pump for 2 seconds (priming). When the vehicle is started, the ECM sees a constant ignition signal from the ignition module, and sends a constant 12v+ out on the green/white wire, thus activating the relay coil constantly, and thus running the pump constantly.
When car shut off, no more constant ignition signal, thus ECM stops sending the 12v+ out on the green/white wire.
So, you can kind of test your connector ...
1) remove connector from relay
2) jumper a wire from the slot for the orange wire to the slot for the grey wire - fuel pump should run - wiggle wires to verify at connector
3) probe black wire slot with ohm meter - make sure black wire has constant ground - wiggle wires at connector
test relay ...
1) remove relay from connector
2) rig a ground wire to the tab that had the black wire when in connector
3) apply 12v+ to the tab that had the green/white wire - relay should click once and do this every time you apply the 12v+

That should help you track it down to either a connector problem, a wiring problem, or a relay problem.

#1 coil keeps cracking 2007 dodge ram 1500 5.7 Hemi

Check the coil ground wire. Positive should be Brown with a White Stripe and ground should be Dark Blue with a Dark Green Stripe.If it is frayed and grounding out, it will keep the coil active and make it overheat and crack. If you can get ahold of a noid light set (they are actually for testing injector pulse) or rig up some test wires and a test light in the pins on the connecter, the light should flash rapidly at half the engine speed. (once every other revolution to fire the spark plug) If it is staying on then it probably means a short circuit. You have to ground the test light through the connector, because the computer controls the coil on the ground side. Meaning, you should have constant power on the positive pin with the ignition on
