2001 dodge 3500 wont start
ok now i have another question when i jiggle the wires on the solenoid it starts because it would it would not start this morning and when i took the wires off the intake heater it still starts could somebody tell me why please
Given the intermittant nature I would have to say it is a contact issue. I imagine you have already re-connected the batteries and grounds, but your wait to start light thing is odd....why is it still on after a minute? When the grid heaters turn off...the WTS light should also, so I don't know why it is dim and brightens. Strange. I would try cleaning and re-tensioning everything. Otherwise I think I don't know. Good luck!
first, you don't have any pressure to the lift pump, you should have up to 15 psi to the injection pump from the LP
second, the wait to start light is on a timer from the computer, and does not control the time the heating grids are on.... next time you try to start it, watch the amp guage after the wait to start light goes out. tell me what you see

Well I have darn near the same truch you do. The heater grid is under the air intake horn which has the dipstick bolted to it. One thing it could be is that your alternator has went south, and when you last drove it the truck probably sucked the new batteries dry. I would test the batteris and see if they still have juice if they don't then you know that it is probably the alternator that died and your not going crazy! lol
I had my alternator go out on me, it's not a hard fix they have rebuilt kits for then to fix mine I think it only cost around 25 or less.Oh and this could aslo explain why you are not getting fuel pressure because it's not getting enough juice....that or your lift pump died instead.Do you have a fuel pressure guage?

Apps signal voltage too high
Speed control switch always high.
Are the two codes. Not very definite for no start.
How about a crank position sensor located beside vp 44. If trying to fail might generate problems mentionedl
Lift pump is working?
VP44 is coming up as a possibility.
