I get dash lights and the glow plug light and all that but when I turn the kit nothing happens. Not cranking or anything. I replaced the batteries last week so that shouldn't be the problem.
Okay, let me get this straight. When you turn the ignition key to the RUN position, you do get all the usual warning indicators on the instrument cluster illuminating, correct? What about the buzzing/clacking of the injectors? And what about the fuel pump on the driver side framerail? Do you hear them both cycling when you turn the ignition key to the RUN position (as you should)? So when you turn the key to the START position, the engine doesn't turn over (as in the engine doesn't spin) correct? Or does it turn over, but fail to start? Sorry if I'm going into too much detail, but I'm trying to understand fully what you are describing so the more information you can provide, the better I'll be able to assist you.
The only problem is if I keep trying all these things and they don't work I drain the batteries. What's the neutral for and what's the probability that that's it?
Neutral is to verify that it will crank over. You have never said whether or not it will. If your truck isn't recognizing that you are in park, it won't crank. Good to see you M-chan, I will let you lead.
