NO START, NO CRANK AND NO START!

Would my problem be my starter?

Battery levels on my truck were good, hooked up my portable jump starters and still no crank. When I turn key over doesn’t crank and doesn’t even click either

This has led to me being that the starter has left the chat. Recently I’ve notice hearing the starter sound a bit slow or weak when cranking it for the first time of the day

Lights on my dash are good, no flicker or anything

Try pulling the shift lever up to the left before cranking, or put the trans selector in neutral. Kinda sounds like the neutral start switch is messed up.

Or just hit the starter with a big hammer before trying to start. A failing starter will beg for some BDSM before finally crapping out.

Also what year? Could jump the starter solenoid on the firewall.

If the hammer and ball gag don't work you can check the battery cables and terminal connectors too. Loose and/or corroded power and ground connections are probably the #1 cause of no crank worldwide.

This very nearly caused a legitimate spit take. Well done sir.

My solution

I was working on the hpop and it wouldn't crank. The dash lights would go on but when I turned the key to engage the starter.. nothing. Turns out I didn't completely engage a 12 pin connector above the motor that was to the left of center, kind of above and behind the transmission dip stick (this is in a e-450). Prior to this I jumped the starter so I knew the starter was working and getting juice. This is done from the starter relay (on fender) or the connector that goes into the transmission.
Good luck, you'll figure it out.
