when i turn the key to start her nothing happens... all dash lights come on, but no start. batt cables are tight, i'm wondering if it could be the clutch switch? i did get the starter to engauge but just for a split second... i changed the little battery in my key, gonna try the spare when i get home today. oh and there is no codes. if anyone has any ideas or expirence it would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

 

Maybe starter going out?? Try tapping the starter with a hammer and retry?

 

Check the starter fuse. If blown likly the starter is gone. I lost mine around 30k miles and did the same thing. Started to turn then nothing.

 

ck yellow wire going to starter back toward frame. sometimes rubs and grounds out. just grab it and shake it some

 

If you just get a click when you turn the key, it is prob the starter contacts. Can be replaced for about $40

 

BTDT. Take a look HERE for what fixed it for me. Back to morning brew...

 

Wow,, good info.

 

There is a fuse for the starter. I cannot remember which one it is but I had tapped into it to connect an aftermarket part on my 03. When I decided to remove that part from my truck I pulled the fusetap out and somehow the connection inside the fuse box had stretched so the fuse was not touching on the one side. I had your exact conditions when this happened. Everything worked but absolutely nothing from the starter. So, I'd be looking there first since it would be the easiest fix... I think it was # 40 or 42 but I may be wrong....
