Tad0216 Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 It’s not the battery or starter. When I go to turn the car on nothing happens. There’s a click that happens in the fuse box by the engine. I even tried bumping the starter it engages but the truck still will not start. Also when I turn the key a systems start fault screen appears on the dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 How do you know it’s not the battery? How old is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 If you have two FOBs, try switching to the other key. Its possible the FOB is at fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the OP has written isn't very clear to me, but the comment that the starter engages could suggest that the FOB is good?? Don't know if it cranks and doesn't fire or what the real status is.

jmr061 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) @Tad0216 are you saying no electronics turn on as in the cluster doesn't come to life, the radio doesn't work or are you saying that all comes on but it just doesn't engage the starter? Just asking for a little more clarification. Edited December 30, 2020 by jmr061 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tad0216 Posted December 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 No everything comes on as it should but when I go to start the vehicle nothing happens. But it’s weird because it started working this morning with no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1004ron Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 When you have a failed start, does the starter actually crank the engine or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s weird because it started working this morning with no problem I don't have access to the service manual right now but the transmission may have a sensor/switch on it that senses if it is in park or not and will not start if the switch faulty. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
