Try getting a code from it - turn off-on ignition three times and see code in digital odometer area.

If that doesn't work, try resetting the PCM by disconnecting the battery for 15min.

 

[silverqc]

will try that now

fuses under hood

 

[Rockin Ronnie]

I had that happen one time with a different vehicle it wound up being the ignition fuse in the fuse block.

 

[RedSrt007]

Yup, fuses under hood...anything popped? Fuel pump, etc?

My money is on the computer took a dump in it's Post Toasties. Do you have a spare? If so, I'm betting that's the fix.

What mods do you have? Will it try to start? Are you sure it is not out of gas and maybe your fuel guage is bad?

 

[silverqc]

[Rockin Ronnie]

Let us know what the Steelership has to say. I'm sure we would all appreciate the headsup in case that happens to one of us!!

Could be the Fuel Pump Relay Switch I had one go bad on my truck when I had it for a couple of weeks it only had about 500 miles on it.

My truck just cranked but would not fire up. Dealer tech said the relay was found to have an open circuit.

I had my truck towed to the dealer and they installed the new part by the end of the day.

From what I can remember it's located in the engine bay.

ground strap loose on the frount fender (gounds the computer) had the windshield replaced the day before, my guess is the windshield guy hit it or something 299.oo to fix (two turns of the bolt).

did the windshield guy even have the hood open?

 

[silverqc]

yes he pulled the black plastic part off that covers the windshield wiper motor pulled it back thru under the hood to the engine bay to pull glass. had to move the wires on the left to do so
