Squidward Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 Hey, so I went to start my truck last night and when I did the starter turned once then all the lights turned off and the truck wouldn't turn over anymore. Tried switching out the battery because I've had issues with it before, and the same thing happened, starter turned once and the lights all died and it wouldn't turn over or even try after that. I'm in need of some help here guys its my DD. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Removed Posted November 28, 2009 Report Share Posted November 28, 2009 take some jumper cables and ground the battery right to the engine..see if that makes a difference.... if ti dont..then i would be thinking starter or power wire side issue... time to get out the dvom and start checking shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
