 Subject: 2002 V6 Wont Start
IP: Logged
Message:
Had the truck a little over three years now and never a problem. Came home this morning then went to leave again a couple hours later and had the following problem...
Turned the key and nothing, no cranking, no dash lights nothing. Turned it a few more times and got the dash lights to pop up. Now I can hear the starter "clicking" but it just wont crank. Sometimes the radio display will stay lit when I turn it off and take the key out, other times it doesn't.
I held in the trip reset button, turned the key to on and it did the "chec....p done" routine but gave me nothing.
If I turn the ignition on the dash lights come on like normal then after a few seconds the MIL will blink 11 times then go back to solid.
Not a good way to start out a Saturday but I could sure use some advice here.
Thanks in advance!

Battery can still have the volts needed to run windows and lights but the battery has to put out the AMPS inorder to turn over the truck. I would say its the battery. And if it is the battery in the end and u replace it make sure u test your Alt so its recharging your battery

Loose connection or corroded connection to the starter or battery will cause this also.

Well none of the replies came in time for me to get to work so I wound up having it towed...and yes, it wound up being the battery. With towing it ended up costing me $163.00...expensive lesson learned but I thank you all for the advice. I'll know next time.
