New Battery Wont Start

Can’t test alternator output without the engine running but once she gets it running it’s a good idea to check that.

 

i Just checked the new battery is good

 

Do you have a manual transmission?

Can you post a picture of the battery and terminals in the truck?

 

If this is an Auto Trans....when you turn the switch on does it show its in Park?

 

Auto, yes it's in park

 

so you do see its in Park on the Gauges.

 

yes, i wish that was the issue.

 

Lights and stuff come on when you turn the ignition on? Put a multimeter or test light on the starter and have someone crank it.

The post I linked in Post 11 has all the nessesary info on testing the starting system, grab a test light and see what your missing. It's easy to test, no need for everyone to keep throwing guesses at it.

 

Instructions unclear

 

What about the testing methods doesn't make sense?

 

The part where it's a joke, IYKYK

 

Do you have an alarm? You may have triggered the immolizer.

 

An immolizer? That's one hell of an alarm!

My alarm just goes off and makes a siren sound, but I gotta get an immolizer installed now. That will REALLY cut back the crime in the neighborhood.
Put that sticker in the lower corner of the drivers and passenger window. "This Truck Protected by the Immolizer 6000!"

Just kidding - I know you meant immobilizer. Too good to pass up.

 

Engine immobilizers are standard on quality alarms. If someone trips the alarm it won't start. Dealer installed alarms normally have this feature. It blocked me from starting once and I had to get the alarm book out to remind me how to reset it before it started. Leave the window down, activate the alarm, open the door by reaching through the window and if it won't start it has one. You can stop the alarm sound but must do the proper reset to be able to re-start.

 

I don’t want an immobilizer, I want a immolizer. Great theft deterrent. No more thief, no more problem. Just shop vacuum the ashes and you are good to go. I’m searching Amazon now for a deal.

 

Right? From Crime to Cremation in one step.

 

Tap your starter with a hammer ,and then try to start it.
Or you left a wire off the battery somehow.

 

Take the battery back and exchange it,I had the same thing happen,new battery fully charged but yet it would not start my daughters car,I exchanged it and boom car started right up,no idea why.
