No crank

BigBluediesel08 · Feb 16, 2013

Truck sat at home for a day,Tried to crank it tonight, but nothing. Lights and radio work. Batteries and alternator were replaced this past December. Could it be that a battery has gone bad already? Gona connect a battery charger just to rule out the batteries. No codes. Thanks

Starter possibly or Bad wireing connection.

Im assuming you have no codes after youve read them with the DD?

Whats FRP with KO EO?

Can you hear the low pressure pump at all?

Clear the codes (regardless if it shows any) and try again.

Write the codes down before erasing. That way you know what keeps coming back if any do.

a simple inexspensive volt meter to the starter could help out . I'd guess starter but you never know. I'm sure you can find a youtube video to show you how to test read a starter.

JD, you the man! Cleared the codes(didn't show any on the dd) and boom! fired up. That was weird.

I've seen a couple trucks do that before.... Seems like no rhyme or reason for it. Never checked the codes with IDS, so idk what the deal is lol. I just know that there are some codes that even the dashdaq won't pick up.

I've had codes on my xrt pro show up but not on the cts. Sometimes mine wouldnt start due to the way my airdog was wired up. I used the relay and junk that came In the kit. So after about the 5th time of no crank I yanked the airdog b.s. out and cut the oem plug wired it direct. Not sure if you have a airdog or not but that could be your problem. After doing that I haven't had it do it since.
