My truck didn't start this morning. There were weak lights on the interior, but when I clicked the key over, I got nothing. No sounds, no extra lights, nothing. When I clicked the key to off, there was a clicking noise coming from under the pax dash. When I put my foot on the brakes the clicking stopped, so there is obviously some circuit staying open somewhere.
i jumped it and it took right off, but woudn't hold an idle until I held it steady under gas for about 30 second, then it idled just fine.
I backed it out of the garage at 9:40 and then let it run in the driveway for a full hour, ample time to recharge a battery. I pulled it in the garage at 10:40, shut it off, heard the clicking, and it wouldn't start. No sound, no lights, nothing.
I did change the terminal end on the negative battery cable not long ago because the OEM one had cracked. Thought maybe I just wasn't getting good contact, but there seems to be more. Then I thought maybe there was something draining the battery while it was turned off, but now....
Does this sound like a crapped out starter to y'all?
