Message: [QUOTE="powerstrokedkid87, post: 841151, member: 1658"] ok, heres what I have. customer called me with a truck we studded about 6 months ago, truck ran great for 6 months. HE was getting the truck ready for plow season, said truck drove into his yard no problem. He parked it, wired up some reverse lights to his tail lights, now the truck doesn't start, crank or anything, and batteries are good. Here is what I have found: If I pull the starter cable *the one up by the battery) and turn the ignition on and bump the starter cable on the battery, the truck fires right up. When you turn the key on and try and crank it, it clicks once and that's it. The relay under the hood clicks when you turn the key I checked all of the fuses bother under the hood, and under the dash, they all appear fine (these were checked multiple times, and swapped with new fuses also) I swapped the Ficm relay with a known good relay as well. The other part which I don't think has to do with anything, but we jumped the truck, drove it around the yard, noticed when he put it in reverse, no reverse lights worked either both factory, and aftermarket. Also checked the ignition switch, looks like all the wires are intact. also pulled codes with AE software, didn't have any codes other than egr codes fromt he delete I have little patients for electrical, spent about 2 hours on this thing...not sure where to look at next...suggestions?
