QuestionQUESTION: Yesterday I tried to start my truck and it wont start . When you turn the key all u get is a buzzing noise
ANSWER: HI DEXTER, DID YOU TRY TURNING ON THE HEADLIGHTS. WERE THEY BRIGHT ??? IF NOT I WOULD TRY TO JUMP THIS WITH A GOOD BATTERY...EVEN IF THE LIGHTS ARE BRIGHT,JUMP IT...MAKE SURE ALL THE BATTERY CONNECTIONS ARE CLEAN AND TIGHT. HAVE SOMEONE IN YOUR CAR WHILE YOU HOOK THE JUMER CABLES UP WHILE THEY ARE HOLDING THE KEY TO THE CRANK SIDE OF IGNTION SWITCH...THIS WAY YOU WILL KNOW IF YOU ARE MAKING A GOOD CONNECTION..IF IT STARTS AND CRANKS LIKE THIS I WOULD SUSPECT A FAULTY BATTERY OR CONNECTION...IF NO START LIKE THIS,POSSIBLE BAD STARTER..CK BY HAVING SOMEONE HOLD THE KEY TO THE CRANK SIDE OF IGN SWITCH WHILE YOU CK FOR POWER ON THE SMALL WIRE OF THE STARTER SOLENOID,[12 VOLTS]PURPLE WIRE IF POWER IS THERE AND THE BIG CABLE HAS 12 VOLTS THE STARTER IS BAD..GET BACK TO ME IF YOU NEED TO AND GOOD LUCK TO YOU,,,TOM...

QUESTION: HI TOM OK THE BATTERY IS GOOD THE LIGHTS ARE BRIGHT I CHECKED THE STARTER AND IT TEST GOOD.
ANSWER: HI DEXTER, YOU TESTED THE STARTER BY JUMPING THE SOLENOID PURPLE WIRE TO THE MAIN POST OF STARTER AND IT CRANKED OVER WHILE IT WAS IN THE TRUCK...YES...OK THIS GOOD,,IF NOT LET ME KNOW HOW YOU CHECKED IT.CAUSE IF YOU REMOVED IT AND CHECKED IT LIKE THIS WE STILL MAY HAVE A LOW VOLTAGE PROBLEM BECASUE OF BAD CONNECTIONS... THE BUZZING NOISE TO ME SOUNDS LIKE A LOW VOLTAGE PROBLEM,USUALLY RELAYS WILL DO THIS FROM LOW VOLTAGE..THE NEXT MOVE IS GOING TO BE CK ALL OF THE BODY GROUNDS TO FRAME OR ENGINE CNNECTIONS..VERY IMPORTANT..IF ALL OF THESE CONNECTIONS ARE CLEAN AND TIGHT THIS MY HAVE A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH..WOULD NEED TO GET AT THE SWITCH AND CK FOR 12 VOLTS TO THE SWITCH AND 12 VOLTS COMING OUT OF THE SWITCH WHEN TURNING THE KEY TO CRANK...TRY TO CK THE ABOVE OUT AND LET ME KNOW HOW YOU CKD THE STARTER..GOOD LUCK,,,TOM

QUESTION: HI TOM I CHECKED THE STARTER WHILE IT WAS STILL IN THE TRUCK I ALSO CHECKED ALL THE GROUNDS AND I CHANGER THE RELAY UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD THAT'S WHAT'S IN THE PICTURE
AnswerHI DEXTER..OK IF YOU JUMP THE STARTER WHEN THE KEY IS IN THE RUN POSTION WILL THE ENG START AND RUN OK ??? IF SO THIS IS A GOOD SIGN...THE RELAY YOU TOOK A PICTURE OF I DO NOT KNOW WHERE IT GOES,BUT AGAIN RELAYS WILL BUZZ WITH LOW VOLTAGE..THIS DOES NOT MEAN IT IS BAD BUT POSSIBLE. THIS RELAY COULD BE FOR THE IGNITION SIDE OF THE SWITCH THAT POWERS UP CIRCUITS UNDER THE DASH...GET BACK TO ME ON THIS IF IT RUNS WHEN THEN THE STARTER IS JUMPED..IF SO I AM LEANING TOWARDS A FAULTY ING SWITCH... AGAIN YOU ARE SURE THE BATTERY HAS A STRONG 12 VOLTS WHEN LOADED DOWN ???? DONT WANT TO JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS HERE...TOM
PS,,,I ALSO NEED TO KNOW DOES THIS BUZZ JUST WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED ON OR DOES IT ONLY BUZZ WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO CRANK THE ENG OVER...THANKS TOM..
