from time to time, my truck refuses to start. the electrical comes on, radio, auxillary devices, etc but the starter won't even engage. sometimes i can push the clutch cancel button and it will fire right up, but this doesn't work everytime. i'm not sure what to do for it. i've searched the internet quite a bit looking for people that have this same issue but have found nothing

 

Have you looked at the truck at all??

Time to break out the Multimeter

Sounds like a bad ground .

Battery terminals clean and tight not broken

Might be time for a starter rebuild

Is there any pattern at all??

It only happens parked on a grade ??

Only happens when it rains for a week??

 

i just got this truck and haven't had much time to check it out a whole lot yet. of the times that this has happenened to me, everytime i turn it off on a grade and try to start it up again, it fails to start. the battery terminals are clean, and tight. ill give a look with a multimeter tonight. any other suggestions?

 

I am betting bad ground when the weight shifts you lose your ground.

Might be time to upgrade the ground cables

 

Go thru RADS build https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f199.../#post51947160 Some of the things you can do is clean the contacts in the Starter Relay that is located on the passenger inner fender. I have replaced the contacts in the starter and those help but what has solved my No Start problems that are related to just the Clicking Only is what RAD suggest.

 

Clutch start switch ng or out of adjustment? Clutch bracket cracked?
