Could be several things. Battery connection, starter solenoid, starter, neutral safety switch, ignition switch. First have someone hit the starter while the key is in the start position. If no start, check to see if voltage is at the starter solenoid. Try moving the gear indicator back and forth from P to D with the key in crank position. Make sure the park brake is set. Make sure the battery cables are clean and tight. There should be several feed wires coming off the positive post. Make sure all are ok. Some are fusible links and may have burnt.
Did you use a volt meter to test voltage drop on starter circuit ? It's easy to get
aggervated When you don't know what your doing .
Starter Voltage Drop
turn on head lights have some one try and start car if the lights do not go dim then the starter is not drawing any power take starter out replace or rebuild can take starer out and hook to the battery its a 98 should have put 3 or 4 starter in by now I have
Very possible bad starter. Do you hear any clicking noise at the starter? You can try taking a long metal rod and smacking on the starter where the solenoid is while someone is trying to start the vehicle and see if the starter will engage at that time. Good luck.
check to see if starter relay clicks while turning key to start position,if it does click check to see if voltage is reaching starter solenoid..if voltage at post on starter solenoid,but not cranking replace bad starter..(starter relay is located in fuse panel under hood..place finger on it while someone turns key to crank position ..should feel light click)
it is most likley starter relay or starter.with vehicle in park and e-brake on have someone tap on the starter with hammer while your trying to start.if starter starts to crank then you know the starter is on the way out.if starter does not crank it may already be shot.srarter relay is on fire wall check power + ground.
the starter should be replaced. The solenoid is kikcing the pinion out but there is no contact being made to turn the starter motor. I have the exact same truck and before i changed the starter used the old starter tap trick. Tap the starter casing with a hammer and it should start turning again. hope this was helpful for you. Good luck.
That clicking you hear is the starter solenoid. There are two reasons for this, one is not enough power to crank the starter, but it looks like you have ruled out that possibilty. The other is the starter and/or solenoid are going bad. Although sometimes your starter can develop flat spots and prevent starting, If you are handy and can locate the starter, try tapping on it with a rubber mallet then try starting the car.(I've started alot cars w/ starter problems this way) If it starts then it's definatly your starter and it needs to be replaced. Flat spots occur from overcranking which cause's alot of heats, can also be caused by cranking when engine is already running. Anyway here's a few tips and I hope this helps
