Truck wont start

Truck won't start, not the battery, tried hitting the starter, won't ho into neutral winter he key in the on positions, any thoughts

 

Do your dash lights come on?

 

I don't think so

 

If your battery isn't dead, maybe a break in your starter circuit somewhere. Just to be safe, did you try boosting?

 

How do you know it isn't the battery?

Dash lights are a fairly large clue.

 

Maybe check to make sure your dome light or headlight switch aren't in the on position.

 

What's boosting I'm a noob, well we connected jumpers to my battery and it sparked, we also junmped it for a bit

 

Try another battery.

Report back.

 

Headlights are off

 

What you did, as long as the jumper cables were connected to a charged battery on the other end...

 

Also already sapped batteries with a friend

 

Any other ideas

 

Check the main fuse in the fuse box. The big one.

 

Also, you said you swapped batteries?

1 - do you dash lights come on when you turn the key the to run? Or is it still stone dead?
2- When you had it hooked up to another car with jumper cables, did the engine crank at all?

 

I guess mentioning what you have tried already is a good idea, you didn't mention swapping batteries until 4 people tried helping.

Anything you know should be said up front otherwise you're wasting our time and we're wasting yours.

 

Batteries no dead but dash lights won't come on headlights will

 

Probably fuse related then. Check your fuses

 

Hopefully you have out your owners manual, it will show you were to do this and what fuses control what. Make sure to only take one out at a time. Calm down and do it methodically.

 

Will do

 

do you have a clean connection from the battery cables to the battery itself. make sure the copper wires arent all gummed up inside the connectors. it sounds to me that either the starter or starter solenoid is acting up.
