won't start

Started about a year ago. I would jump in the truck turn the key, lights and sounds come on but it wouldnt start. kept trying nothing then the sound would and lights would faintly come on. Luckily someone gave me a jump and it started. And i never had an issue again

Then months later it wouldnt start again. tried and tried and finally it would start.

Sometimes i'd tried and tried, left it alone for like 10 mins, come back and it started right up.

That was all in Tx. I live now in Seattle and it's colder. So i had a remote start installed. Same thing sometimes it would start and sometimes it won't. Today sucked cause it was cold it didn't start. Tried and tried nothing. Came back maybe 5 mins later and it started up. A bit sluggish but started.

Any ideas? Hoping maybe its just a battery thing...?

Thanks in advance for the help.

 

Definitely test the battery.

 

Yea looked at the connections this morning looked good. Couldn't today but I'll check the battery tomorrow.

Thanks!

 

Check your starter as well,make sure the termianls on the starter are clean get a meter test the battery and starter let's us know how many volts you,are getting

 

Thanks yall. Turned out to be the battery. Glad that was easy.
