I bought this truck last year. It ran fine for about a month then it would struggle to start. Every time I would turn the truck off it would take longer to start. Then it stopped starting all together leaving me stranded at work and I had to get it towed home. Now every time I turn the key I hear only one click from the passenger side fuse panel. Ive checked every fuse and relay. I’ve replaced the starter. I’ve tested the alternator. I’ve replaced the ignition switch and I put a brand new battery in it and I still have the same problem. Any advice on what I could do next to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Was the starter at least cranking the engine over for starting ?

If you have some ,try a shot of carb and choke cleaner into the intake , then see if the engine will fire up and start running.

If after attempting to start it and it does not fire up and start running, remove a spark plug and let us know if it is wet or dry.

If wet , then we check for spark. If dry , that would tell us fuel is not getting into the combustion chamber. That could be due to possible fuel pump problem or injector problem.

Need to know which result you get before going further, but I would not replace any more parts unless we determine it is defective or malfunctioning.

 

No the starter isn’t doing anything. When I turn the key the only thing that happens is the click from the fuse panel.

 

What does the anti-theft lamp do?
