2000 7.3 psd 4x4

I have the exact sam problem!!! Some as$hats tried to run my truck thru a car wash, broke the sunroof bezzel, after a rain water filled the floor board/drivers side.

Will not turn over.

1. all fuses good
2. will start if I jump the solinoid on the passenger side(no power to the small wire when ign sw is turned)
3. power is coming out of the ign sw on the steering column
4. no aftermarket alarm system

Is there a factory starter interupt?
does the starter wire run thru the pcm or bcm?

When the truck got rained on, it was turning over on its own randomly(key off), so I disconected the batteries and waited for it to dry out. reconected the batteries, started fine, later that day, no turn over.
