Truck won't start

<< < (2/8) > >>

missioncontrol:
turn the key like you were starting it and short the solenoid....

ChadTower:

Welcome back, Paige!

NIVO:
pull the battery posts off and inspect them if you havent done so. I had the problem with the truck. You couldnt see the buildup from just lokking at it, but once pulled all the caking was everywhere. Once replaced($7) it was perfect again. YMMV.

I don't know how it is on your vehicle, but on many vehicles the solenoid is mounted right on the inside of the fender, easily accessible from under the hood. And like Missioncontrol mentioned, make sure the ignition switch is on before jumping/shorting the solenoid.

ChadTower:

Is this the same truck you bought from Drew?   :)
