I went to a meeting this morning at 10am. My truck started fine,
drove perfect...even told me I needed to get more fuel. I come out of
my meeting an hour later and it won't start. Won't even turn over.
Tried jumping it, no dice. I came home to read about the PATS and it
mentioned if the THEFT light flashes, you got a bad key/bad ignition
ring connection. So naturally, I go back to my truck, which is
sitting at a pizza place, and looked for symptoms of PATS
malfunction. Nothing, nothing is/was wrong with my truck.
What do I do? It seems so easy to fix, but nothing is telling me
where to begin!
Regards,
Sean |

Since jumping it didn't work, I would start with the battery cable.
This can look good on the outside and still be bad.

Well, I had it towed to an auto shop. Once I got it off the truck, I
started it right up. I felt like a complete tool in front of the
mechanic insisting that "you needed gas." The stupid prick didn't
listen to the "it wouldn't even crank" part of my disposition.
Anyway, all is well now and has started up fine ever since. I'm
thinking the starter might cause me issues in the near future as Ron
stated.
Thanks for the insight fellas.

Hit the starter with a hammer a few times, need to get under the truck,
if it starts replace the starter. Sounds like bad brushes in the starter.

Do other thigs work? Lights, radio, etc. This will tell you if it is
isolated to the starting circuits, starter, solenoid, ignition switch.
