Reaching out to KRT and any others the can help.
15 year old truck, I bought it used with 113,000 miles.
Won't crank/ won't start, intermittent now,
Here's what's been done:
Wouldn't crank or start at all on Wed 3/3 Checked fuses, all good. fuel pump cycles, relay clicks.
Just had the starter/solenoid replaced with brand new, not a rebuild replaced on 3/3. Starter was definitely bad. Started multiple times for the repair shop.
I went to pick it up at about 6pm on 3/3, Same problem.
Same repair shop looked at it in the morning and found 2 blown fuses the #34-15A PCM power & the #41-20A Cig lighter/DCP.
They replaced them and the truck started multiple times for them.
I picked it up in afternoon and it started right for me.
I went to my mom's to look at her HVAC. When i turn truck off and tried to restart, No deal, same problem
Looked at my mom's HVAC. I went back out started reading truck forums for options:
-I checked all the fuses and relays that appear to be associated with Starting, ignition, nothing blown
-pulled +wire off battery, knocked off and corrosion/Buildup (not much)
-Cycled through shifter, tried to start in N also.
-Crawled under checked new starter connections, looked good
-cycled my security system- no changed
I walked back in the house and came back out, with help to push out of way on my mom's driveway.
-Attempted to start, Fired right up
Drove home about 35min drive.. Shut off truck, tried to restart, nothing.
-Got up this morning, truck started right up. I let it run about 10min, shut off, wont start again.
-All power looks good, Battery is over 1/2 on dash gauge, lights and indicators dim only a fraction when
ignition turned on and battery gauge doesn't even move.
When truck does start does not hesitate.
Check engine light goes out like its supposed to when truck does start.
No issues while driving after it starts.
Looked up about symptoms of a Bad or going bad PCM and one of them is "won't start"
Could that be it.
