RE: HELP PLEASE!!!!!
It won't crank? Did you try jump starting it? I had similar problems with my truck and while these may not necessarily be it, these are things to look for:
- Was your battery not holding a chargevery well before this? It could be shot (I also belive that batteries are good for 3-5 years so if it's older I would think about replacing it).
- Check your battery connections
- Check the wires in your starting system: battery to solenoid, solenoid to starter, etc... to see if they are cracked or broken. I once found that the wire from my solenoid to my starter had broken on my truck and I couldn't see it until I got under the thing and looked.
- There may be a chance your solenoid is shot; something else thatI had to replace in the past
