Wildfire

Timing couldn't be worse, headed to the woods for the annual 4-wheelin' and camping trip this weekend.

Basically, I installed the fender well snorkel and now the truck won't start.

Symptoms:
Turn key to run - all accessories, lights, radio, windows, etc working normal
Turn key to start - nothing, nada, no clicks, clock fades and stereo loses power, no change in voltmeter

I checked the bunch of wires that runs behind the section of inner fender that got cut out and those were in good shape, no nicks, no cuts. I just don't think the no-start and the snorkel are related. However, I could be wrong.

The truck is a 1992 3.0 automatic. It had been sitting for about an hour. It is raining today. I tried to start it in park, reverse, neutral, drive, low, 2wheel, 4wheel (hi and lo).

I am going nuts over this!!!

I'm not too great with electrical issues, but here are some ideas...

1) Bad battery - try getting a jump start
2) Bad battery cable connection(s) - trying loosening, wiggling, and retightening post clamps
3) Starter contacts - run search of forum (try tapping starter housing)
4) Power to starter solenoid - look at this thread https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show...ighlight=start
5) Ignition switch, cut wire, short, bad ground, ???

I would recommend to start by checking wires connected at the battery.

Start by trying to rule out the starter. Tap on the solinoid while someone try's to start her up. If it starts its your starter solinoid if not the soap opera continues.
