no start question
2003 Ex 6.0L 2wd limited 130k miles
Hello everyone,
I have been getting no starts on the truck latterly. It started about 6 months ago and would give me one every month, now its like 6 a week.
All electronics come on with the key switch, the glow plug light comes on and I hear everything normal but go to crank and nothing.
New batteries, new alternator about 3 months ago. I'm sure its not that.
Any ideas? FICM? starter? a relay? I was hoping maybe a relay and something I could try changing for a few bucks.
about 3 months ago I had steering column open and took a look while I was in there for any chaffed wires couldn't see any.
Thanks for any help you can give!
Sincerely,
Andy

I randomly have the same issue. The odd thing is, if I turn my headlights on it will start right away. Another thing I sometimes do is put the key in and turn to acc, then go inside to finish getting ready. When I come out 5 min later, it starts up just fine. The charging system and starter all tested fine.
